2009 Offensive Preview

Offense will have a new look - BWI editor Chris Morelli takes a position by position look at the Nittany Lions' offense for the 2009 season before taking an in-depth look at the new personnel that will fill in for the stars that graduated.

Sense of Urgency - BWI contributor Tricia Lafferty's cover story about the Nittany Lions' tight end Andrew Quarless, who is entering his senior year at Penn State without having accomplished all of the lofty goals that were once expected from him as a freshman.

Game Changer - BWI contributor Beth Hudson takes a look at all of the ways redshirt sophomore Chaz Powell will be performing for the Nittany Lions' offense this season. Can he replace the production Derrick Williams brought to the field a season ago.

2009 Defensive Preview

Remodeling Project - BWI assistant editor Andy Elder follows suit and supplies a position-by-position breakdown of who to look for on the defensive side of the ball this season.

Quality and Quantity - Special BWI contributor Ron Bracken gives our subscribers an inside look at how especially deep Penn State's depth is at linebacker this season. While it's difficult to compare an ever-evolving group of linebackers, it's tough to ignore the talent the Nittany Lions have stockpiled this year.

Sean Lee - Now that he's rehabbing from his spring ACL injury, Penn State linebacker Sean Lee will have to learn what it's like to be watching instead of playing the games on Saturday.

Tom Bradley - BWI contributor Eric Thomas takes a look inside defensive coordinator Tom Bradley's task of having to replace an entire secondary and some current NFL defensive ends. Will it be a reloading or rebuilding job for the grizzled veteran coach?

... Plus, a feature story on inside linebacker Josh Hull!

For the best inside look at what to look for this season in the Big Ten, as well as a news and notes approach to the month leading up to the season's kickoff, look no further than this special section of stories from BWI's Nate Bauer, Andy Elder and Chris Morelli.
