Football Penn State vs. West Virginia - GAMEDAY THREAD

Penn State's defense gives up their big play of the season as Devin Carter got loose in the secondary and takes it into the redzone for West Virginia.
 
The DL has undersized guys and converted DEs they have tried to fit in that position.
 
Little surprised WVU didn't try to get a play off before the end of the quarter I'd much rather try to do it facing the north end rather than the student section.
 
Optimism for improved DT play vs the run is already tarnished....
Agree. This is the Achilles heal of the PSU defense - no war daddy., no elite defense. The WVU interior OL is owning the LOS. Is there an adjustment? Don't know.

Name one of the currnet DT's that's playing that was recruited to play DE??

There are NONE. Only Townley, and he will be much bigger when/if he becomes a player in the 2 deep going forward.
 
Manny Diaz not going to be a happy camper at halftime. Nittany Lions' defensive line has to get it going here. WVU's OL is as advertised.

So far D hasn’t made the adjustments. If they can’t put more resistance in the middle of the line it’ll be a long night.
 


I don't believe he was recruited to strictly play DE. As Isaac, DDS, Robinson, Fisher (played some LB as he was LB/DE) and the 3 true freshmen. Vanover was recruited as a tweener DE/DT and so was Beamon. But saying either one was recruited as a DE is not correct.
 
WV's O-Line is good and we apparently have not improved on the D-Line. They are on pace for 240 yards rushing. Yikes.
