Minnesota Football vs Penn State: Q&A with Black Shoe Diaries

Aaron Yorke, assistant editor for Penn State’s SB Nation blog Black Shoe Diaries, was kind enough to answer a few questions about the Nittany Lions ahead of Saturday’s Battle for the Governor’s Victory Bell at Beaver Stadium.

The Daily Gopher: Christian Hackenberg is out, and in steps Trace McSorley. How are the Nittany Lions feeling about their sophomore quarterback after four games?

Aaron Yorke: I think the Lions should feel pretty good about how McSorley is playing. He's quickly proving to be a more accurate passer than Hackenberg was, and while he doesn't have the arm strength of an elite NFL prospect, the new guy has been more efficient when it comes to moving the chains.
