It looks like we won’t get to see Derrick Williams again until the Blue-White game in the spring. There is little likelihood that he’ll be playing in the Orange Bowl.

“So, I don’t think it’s worth the kid’s future; he has a great future, so I doubt he will play,” Paterno said.

One third of what this Turkey considers to be a big edge for the Seminoles has found himself headed home early. Linebacker A.J. Nicholson was sent home after being accused of sexual assault by a woman in Hollywood, Florida, where the Seminoles are camped in preparation for the Orange Bowl meeting with the Nittany Lions. He was suspended for a violation of team policy, presumably the established curfew. Read more about it here.
