The pendulum of AFL power in Sydney might not yet have swung to the Giants, but is it starting to take a westward tilt?Through the first four seasons of Greater Western Sydneys existence it would have been unthinkable they could challenge the perennially contending Swans for top dog status in the harbour city.If the Swans fall to Adelaide in their SCG semi-final on Saturday, the Giants will have gone deeper into the season than the Swans for the first time, despite finishing three places below them on the ladder.Theres no doubt the sense of rivalry between the two neighbours has intensified after a weekend in which the Giants won high stakes derbies at two levels.A 36-point preliminary final win on Saturday was followed by a four-point GWS victory in Sundays NEAFL grand final.GWS have won their past two AFL and three NEAFL games against the Swans despite Sydney finishing minor premiers in both competitions.The Giants own the two biggest wins over Sydney this season, having thumped them by 42 points at Spotless Stadium in round 12.The closest game between the two in 2016 was Sydneys 25-point win at the SCG in round three.There were signs as far back as March that GWS were ready to slug it out with their more established intra-city rival.They beat the Swans by 34 points in a pre-season game in which both clubs fielded a strong side.The Swans freely acknowledge the strides the Giants have made, but arent prepared to concede the Sydney balance of power is starting to shift west.I dont think so, said Swans NEAFL coach Rhyce Shaw.When you get that pool of talent there I think they were always going to grow and they are going to grow really quickly.They are showing what 50 to 100 games does for you and when you get to that point you start to kick on and they really have.GWS chairman Tony Shepherd stressed the wins over the Swans underlined the depth of his club and proved they were the real deal.Any serious contender in the finals must have a strong reserves team and the Giants have proven they have a strong reserves team, Shepherd told AAP.The two Sydney clubs could potentially meet once more this season in the grand final.While the Giants arent looking any further than their preliminary final engagement on Saturday week against either Hawthorn or Western Bulldogs, star forward Jeremy Cameron admits its a tantalising prospect.If it comes down to that, it will be enormous wouldnt it?

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Trace McSorley will start at quarterback for Penn State when the Nittany Lions open against Kent State on Sept 3.Coach James Franklin settled on the sophomore after McSorley battled redshirt freshman Tommy Stevens for the job through the spring and summer.Were excited what he brings to our offense, Franklin said Wednesday. I think the biggest thing is hes been the backup quarterback for two years. He has game experience and theres value in that. Youve been able to see it already, youre not projecting as much.McSorley will make his first career start at home against Kent State.Its a lot of weight off my shoulders, McSorley said. Over the whole offseason, Tommy and I were pushing each other. This team will be better because of how this competition went with us pushing each other.Both quarterbacks are strong runners, but McSorleys experience gave him the edge.His shiftiness was utilized in practice throughout his tenure as Christian Hackenbergs backup. He usually led the scout team against the top defense, offering a similar look to the opposing running quarterbackss Penn State would play.ddddddddddddAlthough hes played sparingly on Saturdays in that time, McSorley saw meaningful snaps in Penn States bowl game in relief of an injured Hackenberg. Then, McSorley completed 14 of 17 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns, ran seven times for 31 yards and nearly led a comeback against Georgia.Now, McSorley will try and turn around a unit thats ranked 105th and 114th in total offense the last two seasons. Hell do so in a spread-based offense designed for a mobile quarterback and led by new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead.I think the best thing about the way he runs the ball is hes savvy, linebacker Jason Cabinda said. He sets up his cuts. You play a guy whos a statue in the pocket and you cover well, he gets sacked. Now we have another element. Not only do you have to worry about covering guys, but when that four or five seconds is up theres that option of scrambling, another aspect of the play you have to worry about.
