Matching up Penn State and Pittsburgh: Key positions, players for Lions, Panthers

Pittsburgh had the edge at many positions going into last season's game with Penn State. This time around? Different story. Let's get to the matchups.

PENN STATE

QUARTERBACKS

Trace McSorley (9) got off to a solid start in the Akron opener, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another. He did have a costly interception late in last year's Pittsburgh game but he is a much-improved player. Will we see at two-QB set with McSorley and Tommy Stevens (2).

WIDE RECEIVERS

Juwan Johnson (84) looked comfortable in the spotlight last week.
