he indicated that Sparty was down to only 3 DTs and missing the run stuffers. he said you cannot play in the BIG with that kind of lineup. you need to be able to stop the run. that is his view of course. Penn State does tend to play a different style - i.e. we do not seem to use the traditional 1 T DT/NT big body as an essential component.

What are your thoughts re Tucker's comments? Is he right re what it takes to succeed in the BOG to stop the run? we will get plenty of tests in the coming weeks.
