I know that every team gets injured, but this year feels like we have had worse luck in this. Even the teams we should roll over on feel like very physical games.

The team that we had to start camp would be capable of beating anyone. the guys we have lost or playing below normal:
  • Lyons and Keys dismissed probably done for their career. Their life is going somewhere else besides the portal.
  • KJ Winston, Donkoh, Ford gone for year. Donkoh had been hurt already upper body.
  • Saunders has been hurt continuously.
  • DDS, Rojas, Washington, Wylie, and Robinson hurt missing games.
  • Beamon quits team.
  • Mix in our two RBs Singleton and Allen playing hurt much of the year.
  • WR Fleming hurt recently.
  • Allar hurt v Wisky - not sure how much that still bothers him.
With all these players back at 100%, we could beat anyone, including tOSU.

Three weeks to get healthy.
Exactly. A team peaking at the right time may win it all and it may not necessarily be the the best, most talented team. That’s why this 12 team format is so much more interesting. I think if this format existed in 2016 or 2017, PSU wins a few playoff games.

Heck, I’d throw 2019 PSU in my original comment also. That team, with Journey Brown, could run the ball pretty well and seemed to be hitting on all cylinders by the time bowl season rolled around. Micah was a beast in that bowl game.

That team gave up 500 yards to Memphis. The 2024 defense is much better.
