Beamon sucks..Jaylen Reed was exposed in the Peach Bowl. And, we have no LBs beyond King and Rojas. Dom and Elsdon are not B1G LBs.

James Franklin talks a lot about the middle eight. Nittany Lions need a big middle eight today. Have to get a touchdown here and come out in the second half with another score. Continously playing from behind is asking for trouble.

Either way, this first half performance is going to generate a lot of concerns and rightfully so about the defense. Linebackcer depth being exposed quickly (not surprising) but the defensive tackles are absolutely getting no push today and its hurting them big time. May need to push Abdul Carter to play linebacker in the second half.

It's a weird day though--other than Texas beating Michigan by 2 scores all the favorites look less than good.
 
That was such bad execution at the 13 first down. Looked just like last year. Did Franklin call those horrible plays?

Give BG credit. They’ve outplaying PS.
They certainly are. And honestly, they don’t look like they’re outmatched by talent either. Their QB sees the whole field, is calm, and can make any throw. Their running back room is tough, doesn’t go down with arm tackles, and they all have quick moves. Their wide receivers also have the toughness of running backs but they all have good hands too—they’re running great, predictable routes for their QB and hauling in whatever is near them. Seems like their o-line is getting the best of our d-line too.

Allen is supposed to be a master at adjusting
Let’s see him earn it here

QB and RB look good
TE looks solid but like to see some others get a look
Same for WR

Defense looks bad
Too aggressive but bad tackling
Alarming lack of pass of pass rush
