Two Part-time starters at DT are dismissed at Penn State

Penn State returns four defensive tackles that combined for all but one start in the interior of last year's Nittany Lion defense. Legal woes have lead to two of the four DTs to be dismissed from the team per news this week. The two players dismissed were the top 2 on the tackle charts for for JoePa 2007 defense.
