In just two weeks, Penn State will take the field for its season opener against Ohio.
Welcome back to the 'S' Zone, a weekly collaboration of notes on the Nittany Lions and Penn State recruiting put together by Lions247 editor Sean Fitz, 247Sports.com National Recruiting Writer Steve Wiltfong and the newest addition to the team, Lions247 recruiting analyst Cory James.
This week, we take you through the week on the practice field, see who stood out in this week's scrimmage at Beaver Stadium, check in on the special teams and see what the Lions have to tighten up before Sept. 1.
On the recruiting side, we get a scouting report on new commit Jordan Smith and see which group of 2014 defensive backs have the Nittany Lions on their lists.
