Worst play calling of all time

Illinois was begging us to pass.

Passing is our strength and should have been used to open up the run option.

But we just kept running, over and over right into their DL.

Any HS coach could have called a better game plan. I don't give a rats ass how Cliff wasn't up to par.

Cliff had to be good enough to throw the ball against this pathetic defense.

And what happen to "TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES YOU"??

Peter and Ann Tombros commit $26 MM to PSU.

Will cover many areas. See the link below. Highlights from the article:

“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Peter and Ann Tombros, longtime philanthropic and volunteer leaders for Penn State, have made a new commitment of $26 million that places them among the top five donors in the University's history. Their new gifts, which will come through their estate and their family foundation, will benefit programs across Penn State and create a University-wide endowment to fuel innovation and encourage other alumni and friends to support the institution.”

And,

“Through their new commitment, the Tombroses will create a first-of-its-kind fund for the University’s top leadership. The Peter and Ann Cullen Tombros Endowment will provide the Penn State President, guided by an advisory board of University leaders including the executive vice president and provost, the senior vice president for business and finance, and the vice president for development and alumni relations, with support that can be used to supply seed grants for pilot initiatives; foster philanthropy and volunteering among the Penn State community; and encourage other donors to support the University by providing matching funds for their gifts.”

And,

“As fans of Penn State men’s basketball, the Tombroses are endowing the men’s basketball coach position, establishing a fund that will allow the Peter and Ann Tombros Head Coach to enhance opportunities for student-athletes through scholarships, travel, equipment, and other needs.”

Will the Big 10 ever rebalance their divisions?

Of course it’s all cyclical but the East and West remain horribly imbalanced. Having OSU, PSU, Michigan and Michigan State all on the same side is so absurd. Fine, they want to keep OSU and Michigan on the same side, but do some shifting around. In the West only Wisconsin has been consistently pretty good. Iowa, Nebraska and Northwestern are all mediocre programs with only Nebraska having a strong history.

So, will they ever rebalance?

Three O coordinates in three years does not help QB recruiting….

However I think we have the right guy now based on current commitments. I understand why Levis wanted to transfer and given the new rules how do you convince him to stay. He wanted to start and got his wish. We missed on some guys, but recruiting a kid is a process that develops over several years. Any coaching changes will have some ripple effect. However it was the right move to change coordinators last year and the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
