Is this team a sleeping GIANT that will awaken under CMC?

Is that what this partnership is foreshadowing?

Grocer to Serve as First Cornerstone Partner of West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium

Most importantly, does GIANT stock side-cut or top-cut hot dog rolls to go with our Nittany Lion Franks?
Excited for the first Fall camp under HCMC and staff.
-Does Manske win QB2 job
-Who are starting DEs and who might be the fifth & sixth DEs (Arrington & Ford, or is Burnett ready to step in for limited PT?)
-Starting LT: Goodman, Sexton, Alciene?
-Is WR room really improved?
-Can the three RBs match the production of Kaytron & Nick?
-Will the new DTs do well against B1G OLs?
-Is the transfer Sophomore Center Riker ready for the rigors of B1G line play?

Here is my guess/take
-Manske wins QB2
-Max, Yvan, McPherson, Ike will be the four w/ Burnett, Robinson, Arrington all seeing PT and a sprinkle of Ford
-LT will be Goodman
-Time will tell with the WR room, but I do not believe they can get any worse than what we have seen
-Yes, this RB room will surprise people
-I want to say yes, however, my question is; Will the DL be able to withstand the BIG10 OLs for all four quarters?
-Riker is my my pick to be the surprise transfer this year. I believe he will be an All-BIG10 pick (1st or second team)

Real good questions:
I would assume that Manske, fairly easily wins the QB2
I was worried about DE, but reports on the top 4 seem optimistic.... coupling the DEs with more size at the DT position sounds like something that many PSU fans have wanted. PSU won a lot of games over teams that could not block our fast D Line.....the OSUs and Michigans were always solid up front and could move our DTs exposing in some years or lack of a great M-LB.
Seems like Goodman to start at LT? Good that there are other options as well.
Glad to see that Riker did gain some weight. He moves well but when he came to PSU listed at 280 now if memory serves.....over 295. We could have a good one in Riker.

WR seems like on par with a team like Wisconsin.....bigger, tougher, 1 or 2 explosive WRs but maybe not a single one that is a true #1.

All these statements are based on very little data. But if you know me, I base many of my opions on very little data, so I am very consistent.
