Expecting a Penn State starting quarterback to be named Saturday? It's not, and never was, going to happen

STATE COLLEGE -- James Franklin tipped his hand the Wednesday before the Blue-White game, so anyone hoping Penn State's starting quarterback battle would be resolved after Saturday's scrimmage was always going to be disappointed.

The battle between Trace McSorley and Tommy Stevens to replace Christian Hackenberg under center will extend into summer camp, a statement that turned from highly likely to fact moments after Penn State ended its 15th and final spring practice here at Beaver Stadium.

Franklin, set to preside over his third season at Penn State, likes to play personnel decisions close to the vest to begin with.
