Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 553409, member: 309"] I could understand if practices are closed. A huge advantage headed into the season, and especially the opening game vs PSU, is that with an entirely new coaching staff and a new QB under center, it will be all but impossible to prepare for us. McDonald claims he shares a "similar offensive philosophy" with Hackett, but all the PSU coaches will have to go on are the 2005-2006 tapes of Western Michigan. Even on defense, I assume Buullough (not Shafer) will be calling the plays this year, so it will be difficult to get a handle on his tendencies. Even if some of the practices are open to the public, I would expect them to be so plain vanilla that nothing meaningful will be revealed. [/QUOTE]
