In hindsight, should've kept Grunkemeyer who eligibility remaining rather than 1 year of Becht.

I would put Manske in. Might as well see what he has.

I think Becht must be like 5'10. But you can't just have him drop back, stare down a receiver and expect the ball not to be batted down.

Been bitching about the same. For some reason, coaches are enamored with fat lineman.

It's amazing how much easier it is to run the ball with the quarterback under center. Too bad Penn State isn't allowed to do that
