Given this video, the chances of Penn State football players going pro in Gaelic football or hurling anytime soon are slim.
The Nittany Lions, who play Central Florida in Dublin on Saturday, took a break from football practice and tried some gaelic sports.
We like S Adrian Amos' description of Gaelic football, espeially for someone who presumably had never played it before. Hirling, the sport that looks similar to field hockey, is said to be the world's fastest field spor. The speeds of a ball off a hurley (the stick used by players) can reach Major League Baseball fastball levels.
