Penn State No. 8 Chris Burian scored three tries for the Nittany Lions last week in a 32-10 defeat of Queens University in Canada.
Head Coach Blake Burdette was very enthused with the Doylestown (Pa.) HS product.
Penn State put down something of a marker Thursday with an impressive 32-10 defeat of Queens University in Canada.
Queens led early, scoring a try to answer Jimmy Ronin’s penalty to go ahead 5-3. But a lineout and maul led to Chris Burian’s try and Ronin’s conversion to put PSU up 10-3. Burian’s line break set up another Ronin penalty.
