You should've been watching. Jeanty looked pretty average against a good defense. Even when they put him in to return a kick he barely made it out to the 10 yard line. He looked small out there and while he still looked quick tonight opened up some real questions about his speed. He couldn't beat anyone on PSU's roster to the edge all night.

Cant beat them to the edge and can’t bowl them over.  NFL defenders are bigger stronger and faster than Penn state

Hopefully the games tomorrow will be more competitive.  Nice slate of games looking forward to it

Yeah, I said last week that I expected tonight's game to continue the trend of uncompetitive games. I think Texas puts it on ASU pretty bad too. Don't be shocked if ND gets their ass kicked too. I expect OSU/Oregon to be a damn good game though.

I watched about 10 minutes of the game last night, seemed more like Boise State blew its chances to win than Penn State dominated.  Hands to the face penalty that cost them a TD and then an ugly interception.  Then a missed relatively easy fg.  

Penn St seemed like a poorly coached team that luckily just had more talent overall to get past them.   I don’t watch a lot of Penn St football so maybe that was just a bad day….but their coaching nor QB impressed.  

Think Boise St had the better coaching and QB play….but just too much of a talent disparity overall on the rosters

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
