Penn State officials say that can't remember a time when more true freshmen made a road-game roster.
At least nine rookies made the trip to Illinois, and that's not even including speedster Devon Smith who has returned kicks and played at receiver but stayed in State College with a concussion suffered in the Iowa game.
Those who came along to Champaign-Urbana include receivers Curtis Drake and Justin Brown, safety Gerald Hodges, quarterback Kevin Newsome, cornerback Stephon Morris, defensive end Sean Stanley, defensive tackle Jordan Hill, center Ty Howle and snapper Emery Etters.
Hill, Howle and Etters have not played yet, preserving their redshirts so far.
Hodges and Newsome enrolled at Penn State in January.
