I’ll definitely take the win given where we were a couple weeks ago and going across the country.

Did not like the decision to go to the locker room with the ball on our 28, 2nd and 11, 0:45 seconds and all 3 TOs left. This team is not good enough to just give possessions away like that. Another 3 pts there could have turned out to be huge.

Always nice to be in attendance for a win even if it was a lot more stressful than it should have been. Would have been a lot better if I didn't have to stand the entire game but that upper deck did not agree with my acrophobia. I went up there and lasted less than 5 minutes before I had to come back down and find somewhere else. I had a death grip on the handrail as I went down those steps.

You can try to sugarcoat it a thousand ways from Sunday, but there's not enough whip cream to put on that second half performance to change that pile of crap 2nd Half performance into a sundae. Worst 2nd Half performance by a PSU team in a win that I have ever seen - and I've been watching PSU football for nearly 50 years.

This post you claim to have been watching Penn State games for 50 years while your last post you claimed to have been watching for 60 years? Are your mental faculties impaired or you're just too filled with Fraudlin goo?

You saw him at The Tavern with Rick Neuheisel?
One of those friend of a friend stories. Look Chesney is at Ucla, Campbell is here. I want Campbell to be successful. We don't want to get into the situation where we changing coaches like we are supposed to changing our underwear.

Late in the game I was thinking about the non-safety safety.

If we were up 5 and not 3 we probably go for the FG late and make it an 8 pt lead which would've guaranteed at least OT.

Ill say this game. I was pissed in the second half. But at the end of the day, they traveled cross country, and beat a 5-3 team. Our best players from last year are all over the place. Gotta live with it.

Oh ya, Jim Knowles wasnt an issue.
that's really an interesting statement, and one that seems to be accurate...at Penn state, we needed 2 years for the players to learn Knowles intricate scheme....Tennessee doesn't seem to have that problem...so either they have smarter players than we did, Knowles dumbed down his schemes, or somebody wasn't being very forthright

The guy was well respected everywhere, gets to Penn State, and in a year, hes an overrated idiot. Now at Tennessee they are raving about him again.

He broke 2 long runs today...anything 20 or over is a long run. You know Wallace (nor Singleton last year) have the vision to even be in a spot to get what he got.
The reality is you refuse to give him credit. It's now obvious to anyone willing to be honest that he wasn't the issue. The line was.
Whatever you say Mr. Hansen.

Not sure why everyone hates on Hansen, well I do, but it's silly, as bad as those that used to call for Allen's head when they wanted more Singleton. Fans going to fan..
Yupp...doesn't actually have anything to do with Hansen the football player

His avg per rush is almost 5 yards. He's not an NFL back but we don't have anyone better on the roster. This place is just full of unhappy old farts yelling at clouds.

Two things from this game

1-do we all agree now than Hansen was never the problem but the lack of blocking was? Also, we know he can break a run now, yes?
2-it certainly feels like several people here are very upset we're unlikely to be 6-6 or worse this year. There's a large portion of the fan base that wants Kraft to be fired more than they want MC to succeed.

I honestly thought both things were a problem this season....Hansen's inability to explode through the limited space line provided and his inability to ever make anyone miss where not helpful to a line struggling as much as they were. Hansen was good yesterday and is complemented well by Wallace. I think we could have actually run those guys more in the second half. Thought we went away from wallace.
