Narduzzi presser a must view and some takeaways.

Practices closed to media. No players are talking to the media. Wants them focused but probably wants his players not to give psu any edge at all.

Says hendrix is day to day and listed as starter for saturday. Follow up question many minutes later basically said he would be evaluated throughout the week but that as coach he won't talk about injuries.

Asked about the rivalry and how both teams see it. Says he wants his guys to embrace the rivalry and doesn't care how Penn state views it.

EJ stepped up after 20 minutes but coach said the media was asking good questions and took probably 10 minutes more of them.

Told a great story about boxing todd blackledge in his garage but that todd was older and bigger.

Love listening to him talk.

Also was asked about holding plays back. Said no way. Mentioned central Michigan beating them at msu and how at the time they didn't know the wr and QB from that team were going to play in the nfl,...so his point was never to take anything for granted

Well...

He said hendrix was starting Saturday when he won't even dress....and said the playbook was not held back when clearly it was

The guy should be in the NHL....

Hendrix clearly with a lower body injury

Hendrix is a big loss but it looks like psu starting DE may also be out for the game.

LOL except Narduzzi doesn't even seem willing to give the media upper body injury or lower body injury. And everyone is day-to-day.

I don't think as much is expected out of Kevin Givens as there is out of Hendrix.

I don't think as much is expected out of Kevin Givens as there is out of Hendrix.

I don't think Givens was hurt - cramps.

The players who got hurt were Evan Schwann and Torrance Brown.
