At 3:00 am on Sunday morning, Pittsburgh native Joseph Dado was seen leaving a local fraternity house en route to his dorm. He wasn't seen or heard from after. Monday afternoon, helicopters and policemen searched the Penn State campus for the missing freshman. By 6:00 pm on Monday evening, Dado was found dead in an exterior stairwell on campus.

Although, there was something that was a little off about the first game. I noticed that the student section wasn't completely full. This was odd considering it was the first game of the season.
