College football fans, listen up! I don't care who your favorite team is in the country, but you have to come to a realization that these past THREE WEEKS of college football have shown that Penn State has the strongest quarterback line-up in the country.

We have not seen anything from Tommy Stevens this season, coming off of a preseason ankle injury. That has not stopped Coach Franklin and the coaching staff from handing over the offense from Trace McSorley to a freshman, Sean Clifford, who has been impressive.

Trace McSorley, 9.

Redshirt Senior. 6' 0" and 201 pounds.

Let's start with McSorley by recapping the past game this weekend against Kent State.. 40-yard reception to DeAndre Thompkins, 1-yard rushing touchdown (surpassed 1,000 career rushing yards), broke Micael Robinson's record for rushing touchdowns for a QB with his 23rd from 2 yards out, 13-yard rushing touchdown, 41-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Polk (first Big 10 QB to have 3 rushing touchdowns and 2 passing touchdowns in a game). He ended the game with 283 total yards, Penn State as a whole had 643.

Sean Clifford, 14.

Redshirt Freshman. 6' 2" and 219 pounds.

His first snap ever, last week against Pitt, ended with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Polk. Let me remind you his first snap EVER! This past weekend he ended with a 100% completion percentage, going 3-3 with a career-long pass of 95-yards (longest pass in PSU history) to Daniel George.

Tommy Stevens, 2.

Redshirt Junior. 6' 5" and 240 pounds.

We have not seen any of Stevens this year YET, but let's take a look at some of his stats from last season... 190 rushing yards with four touchdowns, 60 receiving yards with two touchdowns, and 158 passing yards with three touchdowns. It is expected that we will see #2 back in action on Friday night when the Nittany Lions take on the Fighting Illini.

It is clear that Penn State has a stacked 1, 2, 3 in the quarterback position, but the team is young.

Granted, speaking for myself, but this team has given Penn State fans gray hairs, heart attacks, EVERYTHING.

Will McSorley be considered for Heisman this year? Will Penn State make it to the National Championships? Big 10 Championships? The true test of the team will be coming up on September 29th as PSU takes on Ohio State in Beaver Stadium, at 7:30 pm, during a White Out.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
