Mike Lucian spent the first part of his career on the defensive line, Lucian was shifted to the offensive line during the 2006 season. The talented, strong and physical Lucian worked hard to learn about the opposite side of the ball and was ready when called upon in 2007 starting eight of the final 11 games at guard. When the need arose, Lucian shifted to center, and battled returning starter A.Q. Shipley .

2007 Senior Season
Playing in 11 games with eight starts, Lucian played a big role in helping the offensive line emerge as one of the squad's most consistently productive units. When senior John Shaw was slowed by an injury, Lucian earned his first career start, against Buffalo. He started seven games at right guard and one contest on the left side. Lucian helped Penn State average 400.1 yards per game -- 193.8 rushing and 206.3 passing -- and 5.5 yards per play. The Nittany Lions ran for 200 yards or more six times, with 270 yards against Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl, 256 yards against Iowa and 251 yards against Purdue. The line opened lanes for Rodney Kinlaw to become the 11th running back in Penn State history to surpass the 1,000-yard mark in a season, gaining 1,326 yards, the ninth-highest total in school season history. Lucian and the offensive line steered a Penn State rushing attack in the Valero Alamo Bowl win over Texas A&M to a season-high 270 yards on the ground and 6.6 yards per carry. The O-Line paved the way for Penn State to gain 2,519 rushing yards, with 27 touchdowns, averaging 4.8 yards per attempt in 2007, up 0.6 from 2006. Lucian saw action on 552 snaps, led by 86 against Iowa and 80 at Illinois. He missed the Indiana and Ohio State games after suffering a mild concussion in the win over No. 19 Wisconsin.
