Monday Notebook: Nassib Stands Alone with Sack Record

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Senior defensive end Carl Nassib's journey to the Penn State starting lineup is a tremendous success story by itself.

Now, the standout defensive end will add another chapter to what is becoming a storied legacy in Penn State lore after becoming the program's season record holder in sacks on Saturday afternoon.

It's almost unfathomable to think that Nassib had not started a single high school or college football game until the season-opener at Temple. He was not a five-star recruit coming out of high school, and he wasn't even sure he was interested in playing college football at the time.
