导出博客文章STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Trace McSorley is getting comfortable with his newfound
obligations and perks as Penn States starting quarterback.He enjoys helping
organize extra film sessions on Mondays and is on time for his calls and
meetings with reporters on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Hes quiet and unassuming
when strangers recognize him on campus. Bringing a similar disposition to
practice, his calm, calculated approach helps puts his teammates at ease.Trace
is playing like a guy that probably is a second-year starter, Penn State coach
James Franklin said. Not necessarily in just all his numbers and stats but just
his demeanor. Its really good.McSorleys comfort level is noticeable on the
field, especially in the second half when his teams trailed and opponents have
stacked the box to stop Saquon Barkley.Nearly 60 percent of his total yards have
come over the final two quarters and hes thrown or ran for five of his eight
touchdowns in that span. His unshakeable attitude could come in handy against
Maryland (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday, as the two teams have traded the lead
11 times in games that went down to the wire each of the last two years.Hes a
winner, tight end Mike Gesicki said.McSorley went 55-5 at Briar Woods High
School in Virginia, where he led a comeback in his first game as a freshman. He
led late rallies against Georgia in Penn States bowl game last season and
against Pitt earlier this year with Penn State facing a 14-point halftime
deficit both times. Both came up short, unlike McSorleys latest attempt when
Penn State trailed Minnesota on Saturday.With less than a minute left and no
timeouts, McSorley scrambled for 26 yards before slipping out of bounds to set
up the tying kick. The run shouldnt overshadow a preceding third-down throw when
McSorley retreated from a blitzer running free up the middle and threw off his
back foot to Chris Godwin for a 20-yard pickup. All this after he consistently
stepped up to avoid outside pressures when he racked up 159 of the teams 190
third-quarter yards on three deep balls.This improving pocket presence is
helping McSorley find his groove as a passer as teams continue to stack the box
to halt Penn States running game.You see the coverage, but you feel the rush
around you, McSorley said. Youre not looking at the rush. You feel where you
need to move and slide to get away from the pass rush but still be able to keep
your eyes downfield to make a throw.McSorley learned to sense pressure early.As
a freshman, he emerged as the only option behind Christian Hackenberg after a
handful of other quarterbacks left the program. Franklin hinted then hed burn
McSorleys redshirt year if Hackenberg -- who absorbed 82 of 103 career sacks in
the two-year span McSorley backed him up -- got hurt. The beating Hackenberg
took, coupled with the fact that McSorley often led the second-string offense
against the top defense in practice, forced him to prepare like he could be
called on at any minute and gave him quality reps against a top pass-rushing
unit.He was thrust into that backup role right away, Franklin said. And after
that, year two, you started to see that the team and the players and he and the
coaches had confidence; that if something did go wrong, he could go in.With
McSorley averaging 256 passing yards per game, defensive coordinators are
finding it less tenable to sell out out to stop Penn States running
game.McSorley believes hell have more chances to exploit defenses if they keep
throwing most of their resources at Barkley. Hell have more options against
Maryland, too. Deep-threat receiver Saeed Blacknall is expected to return from a
hand injury that forced him out of the last four games.More importantly,
McSorley has confidence he can hit anyone down the field.If they decide to do
that, we need to beat them over the top, beat them in the pass game, McSorley
said.

to advance. SALT LAKE CITY -- A suspended USC football player charged with rape
in Utah and facing allegations involving the same woman in California was
ordered Friday not to contact the accuser.Making his first court appearance for
the Utah case, Osa Masina did not speak with reporters covering the event and
responded only Yes, sir to a judge when asked if he understood the charges.
Neither he nor his lawyer objected to the no-contact order.Masina, 19, is
accused of assaulting the woman after she passed out following a July party in
Utah, according to charging documents. Los Angeles County prosecutors are also
reviewing sexual assault allegations after police handed over the investigation,
according to district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison.Masinas lawyer, Greg
Skordas, said he does not expect California officials to press charges in that
case. Cellphone video of the alleged assault detailed in court documents may end
up helping his client, he said.There are some things, but theyre not what weve
all been led to believe, Skordas said, without offering specifics.Masina is a
Utah native who played at Brighton High School in the Cottonwood Heights suburb
of Salt Lake City.Prosecutors said he has known the accuser, also 19, for
several years and raped her after she drank alcohol and smoked marijuana with
him aat a party July 25 in Cottonwood Heights.dddddddddddd Masina acknowledged
having sex with her, prosecutors said in court documents.Skordas has said that
the sex was consensual.The difference in accounts of what happened are maybe not
as distinct as you might think, but I think the way both individuals perceived
this is quite different, he told reporters after the hearing.Masina is charged
with one count of rape and two counts of forcible sodomy. Masina is free after
on $250,000 bail, though Skordas said he plans to ask a judge to reduce the
amount because posting a 10 percent bond tied up many of the familys
assets.Masina and teammate Don Hill are also under investigation for an alleged
sexual assault July 14 at an off-campus apartment in California that happened
after the accuser?visited Masina for several days, according to court
documents.Masina and Hill are accused of assaulting the woman at Hills
off-campus apartment after giving her marijuana, alcohol and the anti-anxiety
prescription drug Xanax, the court documents said.Masina took video of the
alleged assault and sent it to the accusers ex-boyfriend, the documents said.
Hill has also been suspended from the team. ' ' '
