PA High School Football is a mere shadow of what it once was. Ohio has fallen off but not as severely. But where we used to get our share of Ohio stars, we now get very, very few.
tOSU has been on cruise control for a while now and NIL opened the door for PSU to up their game, but PSU has a small delusional portion of their fan base overall that wants a title with less talent than others or pretend the talent is apples to apples. They also don't want to up the NIL game until he wins that title which it pretty counter productive IMO. They want to think PSU is elite, but they aren't and haven't been consistently elite in decades. Just like countless other big schools.
So a ton of schools with less talent are knocking off tOSU, Bama, UGa.....etc. Got it. Everyone has bad coaches but 3-4 schools really according to message board nonsense. You line up that PSU WR room and OSU WR room and they're basically identical.
BCR is just another red herring. GA, AL, MI, OSU are getting the best linesmen on offense and defense. The teams that block/tackle the best are going to win. A mediocre RB/QB will look like Heisman material with a great OL. You win upfront with the OL and DL --- period.

Read Sean's article, compare those to tOSU's and get back to me. One WR coach who recruited those guys was let go harshly so you tell me if JF saw an issue there or not?

I think you read it just fine. What some people are saying is the talent is equal with tOSU and talent is not an issue, it's just that missing coach to beat tOSU.
It’s a circular problem on offense. We have no identity or vision, therefore the players we have don’t succeed and we can’t attract better recruits.
Where was that ND game played again? There is a difference there and that same ND crapped the bed against Louisville who they are more talented than so that comparison you're trying to make isn't holding up very well. We have also seen our young QB look much better at home than on the road so far in his career. Hopefully that continues when they play UM or they will get trucked even worse. PSU was an an underdog on the road and lost to a team with more talent, but we should act surprised? Ok then.
It's the little things like penalties and the timing of them that can kill you when you're a dog on the road facing a top 10 team. The hold which was a hold on King really cost PSU a big 7 points. Struggling O or not that hurt, but it was rightfully called. I also understand that CB's have to be handsy when covering someone like Harrison or they are toast...not blaming him at all...the timing as you said just sucked.
Pssst, they are better than PSU. What I wonder is how if people know this and yet enact the feaux outrage over it. They are better on both line, QB play, and their RB's along with that ground game dominated both tOSU and PSU. So either you know they are better and just want to vent or you don't know they are better and are just oblivous to that fact, but want to vent.
Yes. He didn’t try to be somethjng he isn’t. You can’t get players just to beat one team when they recruit better. So you better come up with your own identity and make it happen.
He lost 7 straight times and apparently cheated to get over the hump....is that his identity?
Well we will see if he gets suspended for Akron next year.He lost 7 straight times and apparently cheated to get over the hump....is that his identity?
Are you sure Michigan is the only school that steals signs? Is stealing signs illegal?
Is this a serious question, not sure if you're being sarcastic? Stealing signs in game....not a problem, everyone does it. Buying tickets via a staff member and sending people to record 30 different games on cell phones is cheating. If it wasn't illegal, why is the NCAA who notoriously moves at a snails pace in Ann Arbor today to show them what they have? I didn't think it was a big deal initially, but apparently it's snowballing currently.
Many do, simply watch how coaches will have players with decoy signals and how they hold their laminated cards over their mouths when talking.
there seems to be some "gray" areas in this but not with what he did.
We will see if anything is done.
That has nothing to do with looking at that chart and seeing Miami, Florida, Texas, TAM, LSU, and ND recruiting at a higher blue chip level than Penn State and PSU either equaling as many wins per year as them or more and ending the season ranked higher.
Yes it does because every one of those teams plays a schedule with more quality opponents on it other than Miami and Texas is about a tie. Actually Miami in this particular season could argue will play more quality opponents.
I really don't care if Booger Eater gets a show cause.....I want Michigan vacating wins
