Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 732375, member: 362"] Lets try this again. QB Allen < Hackenberg. Why? [B]Hackenberg made some big plays to go with his mistakes. Both telegraphed picks, both looked green, but yeat Hack showed glimpses of what he can be.[/B] RB Smith > Zwinak. Why? [B]16 carries 73 yards 2 tds > 24 carries 61 yards 0 td's. Both back up RB's were invisable, both run defenses were solid.[/B] WR Robinson+nobody > West+5 guys Why? [I]If Cuse had PSU's nobodies they would have won[/I][B]. PSU's nobodies did nothing in the first half, much like SU's WR's the entire game. Robinson was the X factor in this game, and hat's off to him for it. Aside from that the other WR's on both sides looked pedestrian. Was Lewis' 54 yard catch better than Kobena's 55 yarder just because he got over the line after he caught it? Was Felder better than Broyld?[/B] CB Lyn/Reddish/Anderson/Whigham < RFr 1 + RFr 2 w/ MAC offers and no prior PT PSU's CB's were more physical and outplayed the Cuse WRs. [B]To be seen but you won they day so can't really argue here right now. I'm not sure our WR's showed anything to challenge the DB's and we had some open guys that we just missed. Did you really think our DB's looked bad aside the one zig zagging Robinson run?[/B] S I'll say = but why did your best CB get moved if you had that much talent returning there? Amos got moved because the backups were too good not to play. [B]We'll see. We didn't throw over the middle the entire game to test him.[/B] [S]TE 4 man crew > Wales (who's good) and Parris unknown[/S]. Non story line. Neither unit had an impact H Back/slot WR Broyld/Estime/RB lined up there = ?. 3rd WR isn't a focal point for you. Lewis (3 WR) had the game winning TD. [B]And our 4th WR had a 55 yard catch. End game, non were big factors.[/B] DT Bromley + 3/4 [B]>/[/B]= Jones + ?. We've got players here. Jones dominted [B]as did Bromley, Crume, Raymon, and Zian Jones. SU run game 36 carries 88 yards 2 TD's PSU run game 37 carries 52 yards 0 TD's[/B] DE Barnes + ? [B]=[/B] ??. We have no idea what we have and your oline is pretty good. [B]Was Barnes hurt? I was looking for him and in the 2nd half he was on the sideline quite a bit. Welsh had a good day for us with a sack and the INT. All the rest of the DE's played the run well[/B] LB Cuse 6 deep [B]=[/B] PSU 2 + 2 deep. [B]Both LB units played well. Both tackled well and swarmed to the ball[/B] Oline LT,LG,C SU = PSU; RG PSU >= SU; RT PSU perhaps > SU but not sure you're sorted there yet [B]RT is where you guys took advantage. not sure why we continued to run right vs left. #7 also came unblocked off the right side and crushed our QB.[/B] [B]End game, I'll say good game and to the victor go the spoils. I love defensive football and have yet to regain my voice from Saturday. Not a fun game to watch for casual fans though. I knew Penn State would be good but I honestly expected SU to be better. I hope your CB's are actually that good because if not our WR's look very very average at best. The 2 biggest factors in my opinion were Robinson and BOB. ARob was the best offensive player on the field by far and on offense PSU was at least organized. Your defense either confused the hell out of our offense or our OC was not prepared to call a game in live action. Hope he gets better but not the best game to be learning on the job. Perhaps we should try opening up with cupcakes from time to time but we apperently love playing B1G teams week 1.[/B] [B]Fun game aside from the outcome. PSU fans were for the most part very nice/hospitable. I have no ill will now that game week is over and wish you guys the best. A few years from now PSU will be back to what you expect them to be. Man did we need this game though. If only that last drive had went differently...[/B] [/QUOTE]
