38-15…I know that hurts you, but that’s a pretty good start.

WRs looked like a strength. Separation. Yards after catch. 6 of them caught passes.
Allar was very good. Great 1st start. Arm is everything we've needed: strong, accurate, ball placement. His worst throw was the near pick in the end zone (I missed the other one, can't compare). 3 of his passes (minimum) were dropped that could have been 14 pts at best and incomplete at worst.
Singleton and Allen could have done more damage, but Yurcich wasn't intent on resting on his laurels per se. They both looked really good today.
OL did well. Got some good rotations in. WVU blitzed more than was expected, but that's good for film.
Defense turned in a decent performance. No turnovers hurts the overview. Not dominant, but they didn't give up a lot of yards nor points. WVUs strength was our expected weakness and we didn't break any tendencies to combat it. Also, a mobile QB who had a decent day throwing was good practice.
Jacobs and Kobe King had strong games. Secondary was tough, but WVU just didn't seem capable of really threatening them. DL was the weak point, but perhaps by design. Can we adjust later if we have to? That is the question.
Of course, you have to be able to score to win the big games. With 10% better efficiency, we score 50+ tonight.
Wow, always someone not satisfied. Turn those missed FGs into TDs (some rough play calling in red zone plus that Cephas drop) and they put 50 on WVU. The running game was getting 5 per and Allar had plenty of time to survey. Sure, the D is gonna get a blitzer or two thru sometimes. It was great for Allar to see that in the first game rather than a pushover send no pressure.
That won’t suck for recruiting.
1 T DT was the question. Izzard was the starter but was not available. Third yr player Caleb Artis has the size but must not b good enough right now. Interesting Cole Brevard is starting DT at Purdue - a big body 4* but was not successful at PSU so transferred
So just finished. I LOVE how active the D was and I’ve always thought the Miami coach would turn schit special
15 will win a heisman and a super bowl
2 running backs, not 5, like I’ve been **** ing telling you
we split OSU/M, finish 5

That might be the second best offensive line PSU faces all year, but need the Dline to step up and stop the run vs the Big10 teams.
Can one of the resident IT folks help Tom set up his voicemail?
So I’m in Wegmans this morning to buy pastries. Of course, I’m wearing a PSU shirt. I’m in a great mood (very rare). Then a guy walking by, wearing no college garb, says to me, “Hey. Your quarterback looked great last night. But your defensive line is small. They’re going to get run over.”
I’m such an a$$hole.
I’m such an a$$hole.
