I see Zach Simpson is ahead of Wendy on the DC for Center. I think Zach moves around pretty well for a big guy, he is on Kick off return, maybe he can get some PT soon! It would be a bonus.

 

[Lion8286]

That cannot be correct. There's no Will Fries.

LOL.. He's actually listed as our starting LT on the official chart, I just deleted him on this version to annoy certain posters...

 

[83wuzme]

Zack Simpson may get a ship after all. Looks like a good risk.

 

[Nitwit]

I'm hoping we don't see Gesicki leave early for the NFL but if he does we seem a little thin at that position. Pancoast and Holland are both giving up a few inches and pounds and neither has had much playing experience.

 

[mcruny42]

Next year Koa and Manny on the outside w/ Cabinda in the middle. Smith as the backup in the middle and Cam Brown on the outside? If we avoid multiple injuries, LB position should be better than I was initially thinking....but still will be thin....

 

[Zone-Blitz]

I'm hoping we don't see Gesicki leave early for the NFL but if he does we seem a little thin at that position. Pancoast and Holland are both giving up a few inches and pounds and neither has had much playing experience.

We've got Bowers and Dalton to add the mix next year as well

 

[NittanyOpp]

Brandon Bell only guy we will miss next year if nobody jumps to NFL. Gaia Golden Schwann all solid but replaceable football wise with talent behind and depth.

With influx of redshirts, injured players, and freshman class this team has serious depth, especially at O line. LB biggest concern but someone always steps up and comes out of nowhere.

 

[Safety Blitz]

That cannot be correct. There's no Will Fries.

Guns is trying to be good for Santa Claus.
Otherwise he says "Bite me!!!"

 

[psu skp]

Guns is trying to be good for Santa Claus. Otherwise he says "Bite me!!!"

I predict that Guns has a nightmare on Christmas Eve... "it's the Rose Bowl, 4th quarter, PSU & USC are tied, Franklin finally sends Fries in--thereby burning that f&*k^! redshirt--the entire crowd, including Gunsie & all the USC fans, start chanting WILLIE (just like in the move Rudy) as he trots on the field...

then they rotate him in at DT..

 

[royboy]

Trace and Chris Godwin are nearly the same size?

Who knew?

175 posts and all you can do is try to gain the favor of 4 freaks on this board who stalk?

Lame.

Lame.

You meant to say 170 posts.. the second number is 'likes' or something.

Wasn't picking on you sir, sometimes I just like to crack myself up

anybody with more likes than post means, their mom is on this board as well.

 

[psu skp]

In comparing this year's final post-season depth chart with a bunch of others, could not find ANY that had a higher % of players most-likely coming back among the three-deep... 1985 came close.

And that doesn't include Nelson or Mahon obviously

 

[psu skp]

Amended: we still look pretty damn good...
