Had an opportunity to do a Q&A with Aaron Yorke of SB Nation's Penn State blog, Black Shoe Diaries. Aaron breaks down the rivalry from a Penn State vantage point and discusses some of the Nittany Lions' key players in advance of this weekend's game. See my questions to him below as well as his responses.
1. (Cardiac Hill) The public approach to the game seems to be significantly different between the coaches for Pitt and Penn State. Pat Narduzzi has made no secret that he considers this to be a rivalry game and one of the Panthers' biggest contests each year it's played.
