1) Depth on the DL is the best I remember in the B1G era for PSU. Outside of Pribula, that's what won the game. Ford, Beamon, Izzard, Vilbert, Vanover -- they can all play and the dropoff from starters to 2nd string is not much at all. Every single member of that D-line was causing trouble at one time or another.
2) Receivers group looked like the weakness of the team, but they have all worked hard to improve and are a group PSU can win with. Throwing to Fleming might not be something you do when the game is on the line (though it worked out vs USC). But the guy is a really good blocker/screener. Good things happen when he's on the field. Liam Clifford is a real pest -- great football IQ, understands coverage and finds seams in the zone, and has more speed than opponents realize. Wallace has been really consistent this year - maybe another player who hasn't got the attention he's deserved.
3) I don't know why we don't have more discussions about Kobe King, but that guy has quietly become the next great Penn State linebacker IMHO. He is a rock out there.
