A former Wolf Pack player was pumped up for Penn State game over the weekend.
CBS Mornings host Nate Burleson talked about his excitement for the game and to see his two sons play in the game that happened Saturday.
"Two of those wolves that are headed to Beaver Stadium are my sons Nathaniel is starting at wide receiver, Nehemiah is traveling with the team. Now I've watched them grow from cubs, chasing their dreams, to fully grown wolves ready to hunt!"
While the Pack may not have walked away with the win, the Burleson brothers did make an impact on the field with Nehemiah had a solo tackle in this game.
