is marginal to college football success, if you have a dominant OL and elite skill players any call will work. The only mistake I constantly see in college football is trying to throw on teams that you could easily just run over (ie Rutgers last week). The only consistent flaw I've seen out of Penn State in the last 4 years is forgetting about the RB for long stretches. More than any other metric, Aggregate OL starts tells you what you need to know about a football team. Watch Maryland next year, they lose EVERYBODY on their OL.. it should be hilarious in 2019.

On the D side, I think Pry has been outstanding. His scheme is predicated on making the O beat you the whole way down the field, and the kids have become effective tacklers, at least when they're not wearing #7 jerseys. Pry is basically Tom Bradley minus the over cautiousness. I hated Ted Roof, they only guy I hated more was Herb Hand. I feel Pry keeps the D simple enough to let a newb like Parsons pick up the scheme and play.
