Be sure to celebrate National Coffee Day!

This would be a lousy edition of the Morning Cup of Joe if I did not remind you that today is National Coffee Day. So head to your nearest Wawa or Sheetz and get your free cup of coffee. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Yesterday I took a look at the turnover production of Penn State after four games. While the defense is doing a good job of producing turnovers lately, there is still plenty of room for improvement on the offensive side of the football when it comes to cashing in.

Anthony Zettel was named co-Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. He shared the honor with Michigan State’s Shilique Calhoun. Zettel was also nominated for this week’s Lott IMPACT Trophy Player of the Week.

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing kicker concerns and for some reason did not feel the need to sign Sam Ficken.
