It figures Penn State would have it's best team in 25 years in the same year the big ten is amazing.

I don't want to overstate because it's just one game, but the way the conference is shaking up, you almost have to win every "home" game. Winning on the road is so so so difficult.

Carter had 156 on 21 carries. Just 3.65 yards/carry after that opening run. What a bum! Oregon's QB threw for 456 in that one.

Sorry, that’s not “quite a few” that’s 3 teams over the last 10 years. You can’t consistently recruit for a 3-4 because tracking player growth and development isn’t feasible. 15 nfl teams run it, which means there are maybe 30 capable NT in the entire league. It’s just not something you can commit to at the collegiate level when you get maybe 2 years of production out of a DT. 

Serious question, because you say it all the time. Does anyone in college football run a 3-4? Like a single successful example would be great.

I don't know what we've seen from CSB or Hipp to expect them to be anything more. I think you're looking at Dotson/George/Dunmore as the 3 likely starters. Not much production or experience.

Their two best players are from Texas and Georgia. Their QB is from Kentucky.

The number is actually 19.9. [chrissy teigen cringe]

Yeah, I should have expounded on that a bit more. There are no significant connections to Franklin, PSU, Pennsylvania, or anyone else on Franklin's staff. I have a hard time believing Franklin is cold-calling guys.

Carr won it Feb 19, 2018. 

"Shelf life" means how long something is usable. 

Yeah, Wheeler and Watkins had really rough games. Uncharacteristic for them. 

I'd say probably a long shot regardless. Joe Brady would help, but Franklin isn't an idiot and will hire someone good.

Kickin' Ficken!!

I have to say, the Purdue kid had a monster year. Well deserved.
