What are Spanked and the Board of Trustee's waiting for? This is becoming embarassing. Carolyn, I think u know how much I love PSU football....but I watched that Nebraska/Wisconsin game last night and we r nowhere close to being on same level as either of those teams. Michigan, with a new coach, has already elevated their game. More of the same old crap....QB's under Jay who are getting no better and an offense so predictable anymore that Indiana almost beat us.

I think we will beat Illinois and Iowa, if we stick to a QB.

I had Iowa, Northwestern, and Illinois in the W column at the beginning of the season but now I'm not so sure. Having been "boarded" at the Ladies' football camp earlier this season as a precaution, and taken out of Beaver Stadium with my head wrapped up for a potential neck injury, I had more of an appreciation that the crew might have just been cautious...still it was scary. Visions of Adam Talliaferro at Ohio State also danced through my head.Carolyn Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618998313704070525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7140012246828551816.post-19317133207446461362011-09-25T15:46:03.303-04:002011-09-25T15:46:03.303-04:00Overall i walked away from the game pleased with t...Overall i walked away from the game pleased with the offense. Receivers played well (even Devon Smith, but we can't keep throwing deep to him--too small), both Qb's made some plays, and the kicking game improved(glad Joepa finally listened to me).<br /><br />However, I agree with you and think that we absolutely have to pick one guy before the Iowa game..Mcgloin played very well, but I still think Bolden gives you a better chance to win, especially against good defenses(EMU's def is terible). BUT i would rather them choose Mcgloin than go with a 2 QB system. It might have worked with Rashard CAsey and Kevin Thompson in the late 1999, but it won't work here---guaranteed.<br /><br />I feel so bad for Mike Mauti..He's a great player with a lot of heart and leadership ability. I hope he can get back to full potential next year. I guess the good thing is that the injury happened to a linebacker (easily our deepest position). I expect Stupar to play well and Fortt will probably see more time. It was a scary moment when Lynn went down. But I expect him back by the Iowa game.<br /><br />As for the rest of the year, I think we will beat Indiana and Purdue handily. But the rest of the games are so tough. If we don't pick a QB I don't see us losing less than 4 games in the Big Ten.Nathan Saltzernoreply@blogger.com
