As I mentioned in the other thread, I noticed the other day that this paper changed up its Penn State staff. Parth Upadhyaya, whom the paper hired last summer to lead PSU football coverage, abruptly stopped writing for the paper and is probably out the door for reasons unknown. Jon Sauber tweeted he's the lead PSU football writer "moving forward." Therefore this is likely Jon's previous role, helping out on PSU stuff but also doing preps coverage.
