Penn State notes: WR Chase Sowell is on track to play at Washington.
Penn State · WashingtonKoby Howard, who averaged almost 29 yards a catch in the first three games, has missed the last five games, also with a leg injury. "The word 'probable' is what I would use with Chase," Campbell said.
"It's the same rhetoric that I guess I've said the last couple weeks. When he's ready, we're going to try to make sure he's on the field, but we're going to make sure he's ready to go."
Sowell, a senior, has 34 receptions for 510 yards and three touchdowns. A sophomore, Howard has 12 catches for 344 yards and two TDs.
"You have to find a way to create explosive plays," offensive coordinator Taylor Mouser said. "When you don't have some of your most explosive athletes, it makes things hard.
