Chase Young comes back with an edge

Whether or not you believe Chase Young’s suspension was warranted, he served his two-game ban and is going to want to come back in a huge way. Not having played football since the Wisconsin game on Oct. 26th, Young will not have played in a  game in nearly a month.

His legs will be fresh and he has had the last two weeks to strictly prepare for Penn State.

Look for his impact to be felt early and often in this game. Having given up three sacks last week to an underwhelming Indiana defense, I look for Young to have three sacks of his own in this game.

It’s going to be hard for Young to ever have the type of performance he had against Wisconsin, but he’s going to come close.

You have to think the star DE will come back strong wanting to make up for lost time, and his return is probably making for sleepless nights for Penn State’s coaching staff.
