Message: [QUOTE="Phillymoose, post: 722649, member: 254"] For a team that hasn't been hitting much in practice, the first game can be absolutely brutal. Some things are not easily simulated. Little dings hurt more the first time through. Some of this will felt by PSU in their 2nd game of the season, but certainly some of it will be felt in the 4th quarter of the first game as well. That all said - I agree it will come down to our run D. If we can shut down the PSU run, then Shafer will dial up the pressure making throwing it very hard and risky. We are mostly in the same boat, but I really like the idea of Ashton being a 3rd down specialist in 3rd and 5 type situations. Right now it is all theory, however. [/QUOTE]
