I always thought meathead football was a style that has no serious passing threat or offensive sophistication and is very predictable.  The Dazzler as a HC was always the prime example, but you know, Penn State was meathead football from JoePa through today except maybe for the Bill O'Brien era.  Scott Shafer was meathead football.  I don't think Doug Marrone was meathead, although he was risk averse on 4th downs just like in the NFL.

For some reason the SU game at BC in 2000 when Troy Nunes threw 4 INTs and was still left in the game by P&D always sticks out.  With about 5 minutes left in the game, SU down 20-13, on 4th down around the BC 27, P decides to kick a FG rather than going for it.  You need a TD to win or tie, if you make the FG you still need to drive all the way back into this position and score a TD to not lose the game.  And then of course SU proceeded to miss the FG anyway.  It was just like that terrible decision by Miami/Cristobal this year to kick a FG when they were down 7 in the waning minutes.  They never got the ball back.
