08:24 AM ET 04.20 | Many questions loom large in Happy Valley as Penn State enters Blue-White weekend. [But] one is asked more loudly than the rest. Who's the No. 1 quarterback? They may care that the secondary has to replace all four starters, or that there will be four new starters on the offensive line, or that there isn't much depth behind Silas Redd at running back. ... O'Brien inherited the top three quarterbacks -- senior Matt McGloin, junior Rob Bolden, and sophomore Paul Jones -- from Joe Paterno's final team. For much of the last two seasons, with Jones sitting out his first year as a redshirt and his second because of academics, Paterno didn't know, or wouldn't say, who would start from week to week. O'Brien says he doesn't know, either.

Who's the #1 QB? They never figured it out last season, why start worrying about it now?

Is Bolden the spratt that almost fish-hooked McGloin?

Penn State football should go on hiatus for the next decade at least. They allowed repeated child rapes to take place on their premises which make no mistake about it, ended up killing their legendary coach. What a rotten program.

I love asinine comments. "They" in this case is the school administration. With that logic the entire University should go on hiatus as school president knew and did not stop it. From an accountability standpoint, the state government should then shut down as it is a state university. Where does it stop? There was one rotten individual (yet to be convicted in a court of law) and a few good men who made varying levels of poor to very bad decisions. Pray your alma mater never suffers through this. Then again, with comment like that you probably don't have one.

FN's all about asinine comments. No facts or rational comments allowed.

Mostly true, but I would hardly call the administration that helped cover this up for years as "a few good men that made varying levels of poor to very bad decisions."

If you help cover this up, not invite a complete open investigation, you a far from being a good man.

Let Bolden start until his first mistake (or not) then yank him....and then flip a coin to see who goes in when!! Yeah, that's a great plan!! It'll keep the defense guessing!
