About this Article

Matt McGloin's game-day scowl was wiped away by a sly grin as he walked into Beaver Stadium. In the crowd greeting the Penn State team at the tunnel entrance was a giant cutout bearing the image of his smiling face, with McGloin's family and friends among those frantically waving the cutout. Finally entrenched as the starter at Penn State after two roller-coaster seasons, McGloin has a lot to smile about as the Nittany Lions (2-2) prepare for tougher competition this weekend when they visit Illinois.
