STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Trace McSorley is getting comfortable with his newfound obligations and perks as Penn States starting quarterback.He enjoys helping organize extra film sessions on Mondays and is on time for his calls and meetings with reporters on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Hes quiet and unassuming when strangers recognize him on campus. Bringing a similar disposition to practice, his calm, calculated approach helps puts his teammates at ease.Trace is playing like a guy that probably is a second-year starter, Penn State coach James Franklin said. Not necessarily in just all his numbers and stats but just his demeanor. Its really good.McSorleys comfort level is noticeable on the field, especially in the second half when his teams trailed and opponents have stacked the box to stop Saquon Barkley.Nearly 60 percent of his total yards have come over the final two quarters and hes thrown or ran for five of his eight touchdowns in that span. His unshakeable attitude could come in handy against Maryland (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday, as the two teams have traded the lead 11 times in games that went down to the wire each of the last two years.Hes a winner, tight end Mike Gesicki said.McSorley went 55-5 at Briar Woods High School in Virginia, where he led a comeback in his first game as a freshman. He led late rallies against Georgia in Penn States bowl game last season and against Pitt earlier this year with Penn State facing a 14-point halftime deficit both times. Both came up short, unlike McSorleys latest attempt when Penn State trailed Minnesota on Saturday.With less than a minute left and no timeouts, McSorley scrambled for 26 yards before slipping out of bounds to set up the tying kick. The run shouldnt overshadow a preceding third-down throw when McSorley retreated from a blitzer running free up the middle and threw off his back foot to Chris Godwin for a 20-yard pickup. All this after he consistently stepped up to avoid outside pressures when he racked up 159 of the teams 190 third-quarter yards on three deep balls.This improving pocket presence is helping McSorley find his groove as a passer as teams continue to stack the box to halt Penn States running game.You see the coverage, but you feel the rush around you, McSorley said. Youre not looking at the rush. You feel where you need to move and slide to get away from the pass rush but still be able to keep your eyes downfield to make a throw.McSorley learned to sense pressure early.As a freshman, he emerged as the only option behind Christian Hackenberg after a handful of other quarterbacks left the program. Franklin hinted then hed burn McSorleys redshirt year if Hackenberg -- who absorbed 82 of 103 career sacks in the two-year span McSorley backed him up -- got hurt. The beating Hackenberg took, coupled with the fact that McSorley often led the second-string offense against the top defense in practice, forced him to prepare like he could be called on at any minute and gave him quality reps against a top pass-rushing unit.He was thrust into that backup role right away, Franklin said. And after that, year two, you started to see that the team and the players and he and the coaches had confidence; that if something did go wrong, he could go in.With McSorley averaging 256 passing yards per game, defensive coordinators are finding it less tenable to sell out out to stop Penn States running game.McSorley believes hell have more chances to exploit defenses if they keep throwing most of their resources at Barkley. Hell have more options against Maryland, too. Deep-threat receiver Saeed Blacknall is expected to return from a hand injury that forced him out of the last four games.More importantly, McSorley has confidence he can hit anyone down the field.If they decide to do that, we need to beat them over the top, beat them in the pass game, McSorley said. 76ers Jerseys Outlet .

The Wallabies unbeaten spring tour campaign is set to be rocked by reports cashed-up French teams are preparing enormous bids to snare rising lock Rory Arnold and try-scoring centre Tevita Kuridrani.Wealthy French comic book magnate Mourad Boudjellal, according to respected French sports magazine LEquipe, is understood to be determined to sign outstanding rookie Arnold - who has cemented a starting spot in Michael Cheikas second-row after eight Tests.LEquipe reported on Friday that the Brumbies star had been presented with an offer in the region of 400,000 euros ($A570,000) per season and a view to getting him to France for next season.After missing out on 22-year-old Scotland star Jonny Gray, Boudjellal turned his attention to Arnold.Australian rugby would be loath to lose a talent like Arnold.The 208cm Arnold, in the back half of the year, formed an exciting locking combination with fellow rookie Adam Coleman before a knee injury ended the latters spring tour a fortnight ago.Equally, alarm bells would be ringing about the interest in Kuridrani - who has returned to his try-scoring best on in Europe.The 25-year-old has crossed for a try in all three Tests on tour, and is halfway to emulating the incredible feats of Wallaby great Mark Ella who remains the only Australian to score a grand slam of tries - against all four home nations, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.ddddddddddddKuridrani appeared to have lost his grip on a starting spot in Cheikas team as fellow Fijian Samu Kerevi impressed at No.13.But Kuridrani has responded to the challenge, according to Cheika, and is producing some of the best football of his Test career while Kerevi recovers from an ankle injury.He scored a stunningly acrobatic try against France on Saturday in which the majority of his body was airborne and over the sideline, and it seems local clubs have taken notice.Bordeaux Begles, home to veteran Wallabies back Adam Ashley-Cooper, are reportedly interested in chasing a top-line centre - and believe Kuridrani fits the bill.Kuridrani, also at the Brumbies, is off contract at the end of next year.
