"We’re just really excited about getting out there and starting to play football, watch how these guys react in different situations on the football field, watch how the quarterbacks throw the ball in person, watch how the receivers catch the ball in person," O’Brien said at his press conference before the team’s first practice,
The Nittany Lions will open the 2012 season on Sept. 1 when they host the Bobcats of Ohio University at Beaver Stadium.
