This season, he is 214 of 346 (61.8) for a school record 2,787 yards, with a Penn State record 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Evan Royster's 5.9 average on 188 carries is best in the Big Ten among rushers with at least 90 carries. Royster is No. 2 in the Big Ten in rushing (92.0 ypg) and No. 3 in all-purpose yards (108.2 ypg).
SPECIAL TEAMS

LSU will face Penn State for only the second time in school history... Penn State, behind Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti, beat the Tigers, 16-9, in the Orange Bowl following the 1973 season in the only meeting between the teams...The appearance will be LSU’s third in the Capital One Bowl and the first since dropping a last-second 30-25 decision to Iowa in the 2005 game...LSU also took part in the 1979 Capital One Bowl (then called the Tangerine Bowl), beating Wake Forest, 34-10...LSU will be making its 41st appearance in a bowl game, including its 10th straight.

LSU Ranked No. 2 in Collegiate Baseball Preseason Poll
The LSU baseball team has been tabbed as the second-best team in the nation heading into the 2010 season, the LSU Athletic Department announced Monday in a news release.
LSU ranked No. 2 in Collegiate Baseball’s preseason poll behind No. 1 Texas. The Tigers beat the Longhorns in the College World Series finals this past June to win the 2009 national championship.
Virginia, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State, all 2009 CWS participants, round out the top five.
Six other Southeastern Conference teams join LSU in the preseason poll — No. 9 Florida, No. 22 Ole Miss, No. 23 Arkansas, No. 28 South Carolina, No. 31 Georgia and No. 32 Vanderbilt. LSU won the SEC regular-season and tournament titles last season in addition to the national title.
LSU junior pitcher Anthony Ranaudo was also named Collegiate Baseball’s preseason National Player of the Year as well as a first-team All-American. Ranaudo posted a 12-3 mark and a 3.04 ERA as the Tigers’ Friday night starter and finished No. 3 in the nation with 159 strikeouts.
Joining Ranaudo on the All-American squad are senior first baseman/outfielder Blake Dean, sophomore pitcher Matty Ott and junior catcher Micah Gibbs. All three of those players were named to the Second Team.
LSU opens the season Feb. 19 when it hosts Centenary in Alex Box Stadium.
