Maybe PSU's kryptonite is "bend not break" defenses? Of course, our defense has to learn it's "bend not break" not "bend then break". Hopefully, our D is healthy when we play PSU. I do think a healthy Jones, Kalu, Reed and Aaron Williams could improve the defense a ton over what we saw at OSU.
it really comes down to how healthy PSU is.. they play murderer's row BIG version.. If McSorely and Bark are fully go, they can plug and play the rest.. they have 5-6 legit WR's.. really thin at TE, but have 2 4*'s rolling in next year..

He coached 4 years at Stanford and Luck only played for him for 2 years. 29-21 in 4 seasons. (4-8, 5-7, 8-5, 12-1) and gone to the NFL.

Shaw has done ok at Stanford and only had Luck for 1 season. 69-19 6 plus seasons

If he has to have an Andrew Luck type player for everyone to “look out” is the success because of the player or the coach? See the comments on Shaw above
Do you have any idea how terrible Stanford was before Harbaugh got there?

Michigan might get 8 regular season wins, but they've had a tough last 3 games. Two losses (one a blowout loss to PSU) and an OT win against Indiana. Far from great, but far from a fireable offense. Tough 3rd year for Harbaugh and below expectations, imo.

But that's for michigan fans to worry about.

Not the point. The guy I responded to said wait until Harbaugh gets another Andrew Luck. I just pointed out that Shaw did ok without a Luck for the past 5 years.
Luck made Jimmie boy millions of dollars cuz he hasn't done crap since Luck left college. Advice to any coach wanting to be successful: Find a QB.

Didn't Iowa take Pedo St to OT? Gotta wonder how good they really are.

I think we will see Saquon Barkley doing the Heisman pose multiple times on Nov. 18. I am dreading it, but does anyone think it is not going to happen?
