It's a bit. Just roll with it.

Did it ever occur to you that the extension isn't just about Franklin getting paid?

Penn State isn't a public university, technically.

I think it's a bit much to expect a player to quadruple his production from a previous season. No one for PSU will have exceptionally high volume. Too many mouths to feed.

I cannot. The transfer of Troy Reeder, expulsion of Diquan Kelly, and decision of Brendan Ferns really put a cramp on things. I think the 3 last year and 3 this year are very good.

Lol, Dan.

The Euron bit was hilarious. 

Feel free, M' Lord.

IMO, easily the fastest end since Maybin.

At least our sweet Justin won't be playing in the B1G. Probably will have to face Parsons 3 times.

HINT: There's one way, way, way above the rest!

Pretty sure his family never left Nashville.

I guess Michael Robinson is super, super popular because he was a backup QB/WR/RB all at once. Triple-threat backup is too much for some to handle.

I am definitely expecting more efficiency. The offense will have 18 months in the system.

Schwan had an OK year. Same with Sickles. Hopefully our starting ends are more productive this year.

I think we're actually doing pretty well at DE, but I understand your point. You can see what happens when you have a year with no dominant edge player. IMO, one of Brown/Miller/Simmons is going to have a huge year.

On offense, I definitely agree. Our stuff rate was one of the worst in the nation. Defensively, in my mind, it is 2 factors that could have the largest impact. Early down rush defense and obvious passing down QB pressure without the blitz are areas for improvement.
