You just became a Michigan 'fan" like 3 years ago, though :lol:. Sorry the bandwagon ride hasn't been that great for you. You still have Miami, at least.
 
And Sparty fans still are like roaches.

You got me.

Im just hoping Harbaugh keeps it close to home this off season and isnt on a world tour again... Team looks soft... Last years team actually played a physical game vs MSU last year and thought they may have turned a corner... Nope... Got beat at the LOS vs them this year and PSU flipped it on them from last year... Major faults with the team and staff but their is very little "dog" in these guys.

Are the offensive struggles due to lack of a QB or more schematic? I haven't seen you guys much this year
 
Its a combination... Trying to change blocking schemes and the OL is not doing very well... Young guys that in most years prob wouldnt be playing much trying to replace Darboh, Jehu and Butt... Black was the best WR on the team and his broken foot is showing how much the O misses him... No WR coach prob isnt helping this issue either... This is how the O is structured: HC-- Harbaugh is making final say on plays, OC--Drevno is calling plays down to Jim, Run game Coor -- Frey has run plays scripted and schemed, Pass Game Coor-- Pep has the passing plays scripted and schemed... So 4 guys with their hands on the play calling and schemes... Makes it easy to see why there is no rhythm or cohesiveness... They are being way too cute and have hurt the team for the year... JOK is not a good QB and has missed on a ton of open guys but the passing plays are very weak... Two man routes with very little creativity... Its multi-tiered and starts with the head guy... The OL needs a ton of work as well but is getting slightly better... OTs got worked Sat and the interior is perplexed with stunts/twists

Playing man vs PSU is a problem as well... Cant have safeties trying to cover Hamilton in the slot or LBs on Saquon down field with no help... Lots of stuff to shake out
 
Looks like the weather is supposed to suck for the game Saturday. 90% chance of rain so it'll be a rushing game.

J.K. Dobbins has 775/yds on 100 carries.

Saquon Barkley has 757/yds on 117 carries.

Never realized the stats were so similar. Not sure if this helps us or not with McSorely (maybe) not throwing as much
 
PSU's WRs just make plays on the ball... They win 50/50 balls all game long... If Buckeyes can play some good Cover 2, this could be a game Franklin doesnt want to see
 
James Franklin talking about JT “he’s going on his 16 or 17th season” :lol:

Side note: Penn State has outscored opponents 92-0 in the first quarter this season

Moorhead gonna land a HC gig this offseason?

Most likely.

Bruce seemed pretty confident Illinois was going to open up this off season. Rutgers could be a fit too with his northeastern roots. Godfrey mentioned that he could see him replacing Frost at UCF but that seems like a lateral move at best TBH. He's already proved he can be a HC at Fordham.
