PSU Starting Safeties...Both Italian?

This just in to THOAD:

Penn State could be starting two Italian-American safeties when they open the season on August 30th against Coastal Carolina. Redshirt freshman Drew Astorino has been seeing the bulk of first team repetitions at Strong Safety (Hero back) for the Nittany Lions and has joined fellow I-talian free safety Anthony Scirrotto in the defensive backfield.

Astorino is very smart and athletic and has seemingly moved ahead of incumbent Mark Rubin (thank god).

What does this mean? Well, aside from the fact that you should fire up the pasta, the red gravy, the sausage and peppers, the velvet tracksuits, and the pinky rings, it also means that PSU's defense, and particularly its defensive backfield, just got a lot better.

Eccelente!
