Maryland at Penn State Open Game Thread

[abpk2903]

I've said since the latter part of last year that Lynch is the best RB on the roster. With Zwinak being done, both he and Belton will get a lot of touches. The line performed much better than I thought they would against Ohio State. It makes me feel as though 7 or even 8 wins is a possibility. I also feel like 4 or 5 wins is just as likely.

I agree with Dragon, definitely a big step forward, against Ohio State front 4 that has 2 1st round draft picks alone, (even a 3rd counting Noah Spence who is still suspended). I do believe if Penn State can win Saturday, 8 wins is very possible. They will be favored by at least a Touchdown in each of them until MSU. Illinois, Temple, and Indiana remain before Michigan State comes calling.

Chippy pre-game with Maryland and Penn State, A LOT of jawing, pushing and shoving. Then Maryland REFUSING to shake Penn State's captains hands during the coin toss which is completely unacceptable IMO. Maryland acting like a bunch of BadA$$'s and this being a rivalry when they're like 1 - 35 - 1 all time against the Nittany Lions.

And with the unexplainable effort on the INT throw and the two sacks taken after getting good protection. I think It's time to look elsewhere besides Hackenberg right now. Something just isn't right there and It's NOT just the offensive line excuse.

And i'm not even about to get started on the Punting situation Ha Ha

Grab the goalkeeper off the club soccer team. He surely can drop kick better than any punter on the roster. Giving away points...

I've seen 3 kids in the Mountain League that can punt better than anyone on the PSU roster!

[abpk2903]

Seriously anything less than a 4th and 10+, I would consider going for it. Even the punts that look decent in the scorebook are only due to a kick that doesn't even reach the coverage and has a favorable bounce.

Hackenberg needs to man up and stop yelling at his teammates, especially when he throws a 7 yard pass at the TE's feet the play before!

[PortagePride]

No one might be on my wagon here but I still think It's time to see Crook or O'Conner. Hackenberg is going to think he's invincible back there mistake after mistake with no consequences. Time for a shake up and see where It goes because this isn't working "right now".

The Big 10 has to have the worst quarterback play in all of FBS..
Hackenberg and Brown are very painful to watch.
