Rally time at Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) _ A pep band and more than 1,000 supporters turned out to cheer on Penn State players arriving for early morning workouts as fans try to rally around a program in flux following stiff NCAA sanctions tied to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
Most attendees wore jerseys and other blue and white attire Tuesday morning at the ``Rise and Rally'' event organized by two former players.
Signs posted in the windows of the Lasch football building _ the same place where Sandusky abused some of his victims _ included inspirations quotes from Winston Churchill, Thomas Paine and Vince Lombardi.
Penn State faces a four-year postseason ban and lost scholarships because of the scandal.
It could cost the program current players, too. Star tailback Silas Redd visited Southern California during the weekend.
