Penn State 2019 Season articles

Love his take on Dotson. Makes me think of Engram. Not big, no track star speed, Just a natural football player. Sky high football IQ
Matt is especially partial to guys from the Lehigh Valley; he was IN early on Saquon, which of course now seems obvious.

Good to hear about Dotson. Now couple Dotson and Hamler with production from bigger receivers (Shorter, George, Friermuth, others) and we'll really have something.
 
No junior or senior skill position starters.

Not even many on the depth chart. Off the top of my head, Bowers, Chisena, Carr....who am I missing?

It will obviously be interesting to watch how this season plays out, but the roster looks to set up nicely in 2020 to make a run. Similar to the 16 and 17 seasons?

Good point about our young talent at the skill positions on offense.

Isaac Lutz, a RS junior, was put on scholarship, but I doubt he gets very high on the depth chart over all the talented underclassmen.

Definitely on offense with ten projected starters returning, but we’ll lose Windsor, Brown, Johnson, Reid, Taylor, and almost certainly Gross-Matos and Castro-Fields on defense. I don’t really see a reason why we can’t make a run this year with how favorable the schedule lines up and the defense we’ll be putting out there.
 
PJ Fleck asserted that more Big Ten realignment is "inevitable":

“Change is inevitable,” Fleck said. “I think we all know that. I think that the East and West have been around for a while. I like it, I like the division of it. But I don’t think it will stay the same. I think we’ll change it at some point because change is coming somehow, some way. And I think people are going to want to move it around, and shake it up a little bit.”

Get rid of the divisions!
 
LOL. Dantonio is such a miserable SOB. Like fighting over an armrest in coach.

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.
 
I think one of the more amusing preseason predictions is Fields being voted in the Top 5 for the Heisman. Thick smoke now about Fields struggling. Day saying he hasn’t won the job.

This insider is always sunshine and rainbows. Think how bad it must look for him to write this. Tyreke is Tyreke Smith, the silent verbal to PSU who backed out.

My only concern is Fields. He could probably use a redshirt year. He is not as far along as we had hoped. Georgia did not do him any favors. Good news is he has accepted all challenges and is working his ass off to get ready. He is probably going to stuggle some at the beginning of the year but he will improve as he gains experience. He will not be the same QB at the end of the year.

I was talking to a guy that used to be part of the OSU program and he was telling my about how Cincy has not only circled the Ohio State game on the calendar but they are going all out to win that game. To the point they are not even looking at any other game on their schedule. It is all Ohio State. They feel winning that game will validate the program and elevate it to a higher level. THey also feel OSU is vulnerable. OSU starts a new inexperienced QB. They think they can exploit that and they want to throw the kitchen sink at him. With a new coaching staff and scheme they also feel it will take some time before things start clicking for OSU, particularly on D. They feel OSU will overlook them and this is their best chance to beat us probably ever.

I think we will be missing Tyreke until maybe October given his injury.

Something going on with Michigan starting cornerback Ambry Thomas. “Not an injury” according to insider. Harbaugh hopes to have him back for camp. Rumor is mono, denied by Sam Webb, but he’d lie for Michigan so .....

Depth is iffy behind him.
