an Farmar will be out for roughly four week

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Earlier this season Penn State endured a rash of injuries to his its linebacker corps. Now, coach James Franklin hopes it can do the same down a handful of offensive linemen.The No. 9 Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) will have to continue their chase for the Big Ten East title without their top three tackles as Franklin announced Tuesday Paris Palmer will miss the remainder of the season with an unspecified injury.Already without starters Andrew Nelson and Brendan Mahon, Franklin is questioning whether to burn redshirts for vaunted recruits Will Fries and Michal Menet or move players from positions where theyve helped pave the way for the Big Tens leading rusher, Saquon Barkley, and one of the countrys most explosive offenses.We are not, at this point, doing anything, Franklin said. But the way this thing is playing out, you never know. We want to be prepared for it. So those guys will be up with varsity and get a bunch of reps.Compounding the problem is uncertainty surrounding Connor McGoverns status. The freshman has excelled as the teams starting right guard during its six-game win streak but also left the Indiana game with an unspecified injury.As a result, the Nittany Lions struggled for the first time since Week 4 to establish a running game and quarterback Trace McSorley was under more pressure than usual. Barkley was hit behind the line or dropped for no gain on 15 of his 33 carries and Penn State finished with 77 rushing yards on 45 carries.Barkley is already 18 carries over where he finished last season with and Franklin said the team is monitoring his snap counts to keep him as fresh as possible.Its also hard to take a guy off the field that has a chance to break a play at any minute, Franklin said.But Barkleys ability to cut off of outside blocks was clearly hampered against Indiana. Chasz Wright started his first game at right tackle and was beaten on a number of those tackles for loss. He also gave up two pressures that resulted in two of three sacks of McSorley, who was hurried to throw two interceptions and took a number of hard shots after releasing the ball.The front five was further shaken up by Palmers exit as it forced Penn State to move starting freshman left guard Ryan Bates to tackle where hell practice this week, Franklin said.I think that we have the next-man-up mentality, tight end Mike Gesicki said. Weve shown it all season long. Whether it was earlier in the year with linebackers and now with the offensive line. Coach (Joe) Moorhead always tells the backups, `Youre one play away from being a starter. So those guys buy into their role.The chances the next man up will be a returning starter when Penn State travels to play Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) on Saturday are unknown.Franklin said its too early in the week to know McGoverns status or if hell responded well enough to treatments to play. Mahon suffered an apparent leg injury against Iowa and did not return to that game. The athletic department confirmed he was taken to the hospital last Tuesday and was in stable condition then. Franklin hasnt given specifics on Mahons condition in any of his last three meetings with reporters but did not rule out his return to the lineup.We have all week long to figure that out, Franklin said. Obviously, it also helps with it being an 8 p.m. night game on the front end.---More AP college football: https://collegefootball.ap.org Teemu Selanne Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Johanna Konta was gasping for breath on Wednesday when she collapsed on court at Flushing Meadows. Here she was simply breathtaking as she thrashed Belinda Bencic.The British No. 1 is through to the fourth round of the US Open for the second year running, having dismissed Swiss prodigy Bencic 6-2, 6-1 in just 53 minutes on the new Grandstand court.She certainly showed no ill effects from that frightening health scare in her second-round match against Tsvetana Pironkova.Konta had struggled in the 80 percent humidity then and needed treatment from the doctor and trainer during a medical timeout, before returning to secure what was a remarkable win.Im still constantly working on recovering. I think its a management process more than anything, she told a press conference.But I feel good. I feel well enough to play. Im really happy with how I was able to just really focus on the match at hand and the work at hand and then put all else out of my mind.I think it was quite a traumatic experience. Im just still working on getting better. The best I can do for myself is move on from it, and I felt I did that.dddddddddddd I focused on the match that I had today, and now I feel very lucky that I have got another chance to focus on the match I will have on Sunday.Konta practised for 25 minutes on Thursday before just eating and sleeping.Number one was my health and number one was just taking care of that, she said.She was imperious against Bencic, who had won two of their previous three meetings. Konta, the 13th seed, lost just one point on her first serve; she didnt face a single break point, hitting 29 winners to the world No. 26s nine.And with 48th-ranked Anastasija Sevastova next, Konta will be confident of extending her run here into the quarterfinals.I have played her once before actually in my first Australian Open qualifying [in 2013], so I do know her and I have been on court with her, added Konta. That was a number of years ago. Shes obviously playing very good tennis. She is a very good player. I have a lot of respect for her. ' ' '
