great game for PSU today. Not that they played great but that Central Mich played a great game and gave PSU a real challenge. There will be lots of film to learn after this one. PSU went up 14-0 and then went to sleep. Didn't wake up until lat in the half.
C Mich is coached by former Florida HC Jim Mcelwayne (sp). They had a great gameplan. Really went for the win. They were aggressive on offense and on defense. It must have surprised PSU for a MAC team to crowd the box and play lots of cover zero with tight man coverage.
Penn State's WRs had a tough game. The tight coverage meant opportunities for big plays but they weren't getting much separation. Also, they had some drops and a bunch of contested catches that they did not make. Again, probably because they were surprised by the man coverage but moving forward, it's great that they had this experience as this is something they may see down the road. Still playing lots of young players who are learning.
RB Nick Singleton has gotten all the attention because of the big plays, but I think the other freshman Kaytron Allen is actually the better RB right now. He has excellent vision and plays like a more experienced player. SIngleton still has more upside with physical gifts but Allen is more polished right now. They should be an outstdning combos for years.
Penn State has one of the best Punters i've ever seen. Not in terms of leg, but in terms of killing it inside the 10 or 5. I just figured it was luck the first few times but this guy had done it multiple times in every game,. The ball just dies when it hits the ground and PSU has stuck teams insdie the 5 in each game this year. I've seen Punters do that before but never so consistantly. He's essentially done it every single time this year.
The punter Barney Amor was the guy who was given the scholarship at the end of the Eli Manning video. Well earned.
