LINCOLN, NEB. ? Penn State defensive lineman John Bronson started the trash talk early for tonight’s game between the Nittany Lions and No. 18 Nebraska.

“Nebraska is one of those teams that does try to take a lot of cheap shots,” he said.

Tempers flared during Penn State’s 40-7 rout of Nebraska last year at State College, Pa.

Nebraska’s Richie Incognito and Penn State’s Jeremiah Davis were ejected for fighting.

Bronson will line up opposite Incognito today. Bronson also said he isn’t overly impressed with Incognito, saying the sophomore tackle is “not the greatest thing in the world.”

“There’s supposed to be more focus on him because he’s a big shot or whatever,” Bronson said.
