The hard part here is to remember the context, it was Coastal Carolina. Penn State was charged with replacing a two year QB and 1300 yard rusher, it looks like they did a good job.
Offensive Line
The one thing people weren't worried much about was this unit. They are starting four seniors and played like it.

Freshmen: They walk around campus wearing their high school letterman jackets and using a map to find their classes. They aren't good for much, but in a few years they will be the leaders of your football team. This is the first in a three part series to introduce you to the freshman class of 2008.
Brandon Beachum
Position: Running Back
Hometown: Youngstown, OH
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 212 lbs
Bio: His bio on GoPSUSports sums up his high school career pretty well.
Beachum was a standout at Cardinal Mooney HS as a junior and senior for Coach P.J. Fecko. He was selected an All-American by Rivals.com, first-team All-Ohio, All-Northeast Ohio and all-conference. Beachum was instrumental in Cardinal Mooney advancing to the state championship game twice. The team lost to Coldwater, 28-27, in the 2007 OHSAA Division IV state championship game. Beachum ran for 191 yards on 34 carries (5.6 avg.) and assisted on four tackles. Cardinal Mooney won the 2006 OHSAA Division IV state championship, finishing 14-0. Beachum ran for 61 yards and scored a touchdown. On defense, he made seven tackles, recovered a fumble and returned an interception 34 yards. During his senior season, he ran for 1,525 yards, for an average of 117.3 per game. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored 14 touchdowns, despite missing two games with an injury. He also recorded 22 solo tackles and assisted on 30 others, recording 2.5 sacks. Beachum attended Poland Seminary HS as a freshman and sophomore, where he played football and ran track. He also played basketball at Cardinal Mooney. Beachum graduated from high school in 3 ½ years.
And then there's this.
Beachum enrolled early for the spring semester this year allowing him to participate in spring practice and the Blue White game. For a true freshman he looked very good carrying the ball seven times for a game high 55 yards. He also caught two passes for 12 yards.
