Austin Scott Done in Happy Valley?

While nothing concrete seems to be coming out, Austin Scott may be done playing for the Blue and White. A sexual assault was reported in the Nittany Apartment area of campus Friday morning and Scott is apparently the prime suspect. For those that don't know, Nittany Apartments is pretty much where most, if not all, the football team lives. This story is pretty much the most convincing one that he's done. If anything, Scott has been more of a burden then help for the Lions this season but this is not how you would want him to go. It's a sad story but you can't feel bad for a guy that does something like that at all. Well, Kinlaw did run for 160+ yards and 2 TDs against a good defense today so I can't say I'm too worried about all of this. It's a shame that this story has to loom over an impressive victory over Iowa. The defense looked fantastic on all but one drive (the Iowa TD drive) as they helped get the 1st down battle to a staggering 20-2 advantage for PSU at one point. The offense took a little while to get the wheels going but looked very solid in the 2nd quarter and most of the third. Morelli did throw his quota 2 boneheaded interceptions but looked ok otherwise. It's very feasible at this point for the Lions to defeat Wisconsin next week and Indiana the week after setting up a crucial date with Ohio State to end October.
