BTN's Dave Revsine would be surprised if Bolden isn't starter for PSU
"To amend earlier tweet - not only wouldn't I be surprised if Bolden is PSU's QB - I'd also be surprised if he isn't -at least based on today"

On the heels of the Posada announcement I would have to say this is some additional good news that PSU COULD be starting a true Freshman.

what the fuck are you saying?
August 11th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
em0? Is that you?
August 11th, 2010 at 6:48 PM ^
Isn't it a little early to be that drunk?
August 11th, 2010 at 8:24 PM ^
Wow. I would've figured to have seen a melt down a lot earlier today. Still, thx for playing.
August 11th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
You idiot...this is what you deserve.
August 11th, 2010 at 10:40 PM ^
When does this guy get the banhammer?
August 11th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
BlueSmash, this is like, at least the 7th time today you have said something completely and utterly asinine. In fact, today, it has been the same quote. Other days, it is something else completely and utterly mind-bogglingly stupid and 4Chan-ish. You are a waste of space, man. Just a complete douchebag, at least on the internet. I hope, for your sake, you're an 11 year-old who just saw "Goodfellas" for the first time.

Penn State will have some piss-poor quarterback play, no matter who it is.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
this is the real point... no matter who's starting, based on reports like these Penn St is either looking at sub-standard upperclass QB play or true freshman play (which historical evidence that we have familiarity with suggests at best mediocre and at worst DEATH performance). This can only be good for us in a season where our offense is our suspected strength and our defense is our weakness. I'd say we can put that Penn St gamee firmly in the toss-up category.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
What the fuck is your point?
August 11th, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
We're gonna make Happy Valley cry. I HAVE to find tickets since I'm only 1-1/2 hours away.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:14 PM ^
Geeze, I don't know. I watched him play CC twice and both times he didn't seem very impressive, although he wasn't totally surrounded by a lot of talent. But he played very well in St. Mary's championship game.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
assert their manliness by calling large football players weak little boys.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
Large? The guy is all of 200lbs. far from being large. Weak little boys? coming from a over weight dough boy.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
why don't you come and say that to my face. meet me and be all tough. i'll be in my parent's basement for the rest of the night if you grow a pair.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:33 PM ^
Bolden is definitely quite the talent, I just couldn't see him transitioning from the calibur of high school talent he faced at OLSM to the big boys in college ball. If this is true, I see many interceptions in his young career. Tate did a mighty fine job as a true freshman, so it's not out of the question, I just don't see it immediately in Bolden.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
A big difference between Tate and Bolden is that Tate played HS football in California and put up disgusting passing stats out there, so it was clear he could hurl the ball, it was only a matter of adjusting to the college game. Bolden was praised for his athleticism and potential, but he didn't exactly light the world on fire as a passer. And MI HS football just isn't that strong of a level of competition.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:34 PM ^
Ha. I saw Kevin Newsome on some break out player list yesterday.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
This is only good news. This probably means that Newsome is worse than expected, since I've heard OK things about Bolden, but mostly that he's a little raw and needs work on his throwing. If one of the true frosh started, I would have guessed Paul Jones, since he enrolled early and all.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
When I saw Bolden I was impressed with his physical skills.. but it seems like part of his mental game is lacking. Like he's more of an athlete playing football than a football player. I don't know if he's changed that somehow but either way.. yikes.
Penn State better be able to run the ball against Bama.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
has been overrated in HS. Saw him play 4 times and came away not impressed at all with the exception of state championship against EGR in his senior season.
He's a workout warrior and looks good in shorts. Come game time, he fail to live up to the expectations.
I do see the talent but more often than not, he doens't maximize it.
August 11th, 2010 at 6:50 PM ^
Sounds like he's the perfect fit for Penn State then. Morelli part II anyone?
August 11th, 2010 at 6:58 PM ^
outside of the Morelli Experience, PSU QB play has fluctated from sufiicient to Heisman quality in the past 20 years (Kerry Collins, Wally Richardson, Zach Mills, Michael Robinson) without real BAD play. This may be the first bad season of QB play since the early 2000's.
August 11th, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
Matt Seneca and Zach Mills were terrible.
August 11th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
Other than Darryl Clark, Penn State's record for developing QBs since Kerry Collins is really poor. I"m not surprised that they are struggling with some young guys. I'm also kind of puzzled as to why they have been recruiting dual threat guys when they are still a pro-style offense (despite it being called "spread HD").
August 11th, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
God forbid a PSU fan see your comment; next thing you know, there are 50 replies talking about how statistics prove that in 2005, Michael Robinson was the greatest quarterback since Joe Montana.
August 11th, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
I've seen Kevin Newsome in person, and he wasn't impressive. Granted, that was over a year ago now. But still . . .
I've heard that he's a good kid, so that's positive.
