SI article on Hamler "Meet KJ Hamler, Penn State's Brash and Blistering Emerging Star"

[Safety Blitz]

You sound like a really good defense lawyer. I jump on someone's shoulders and drive his face into the ground, causing him to lose consciousness, I'm hiring you. Seriously, sometimes you're right, sometimes it's a bang bang play. A lot of the targeting calls are split second and clearly accidental. But this was not one of those. The safety saw the play all the way, got himself high, tackled high and drove Hamler's head down. Now, did he spend the night before premeditating it? No but Hamler had embarrassed that secondary and they were not happy.

LOL ... Don’t know if I should take the lawyer comment as a compliment or insult.
Seriously, nobody has ever accused me of being one of the sharper tools in the shed. I freely admit most everybody who posts here is a lot smarter than me. I enjoy visiting here because I learn a lot.
My personal belief is that play unfolds exactly the same if it involves a different PSU receiver. I think it unfolds the same way if Northwestern or Iowa or Illinois was the opponent. I’m not defending the DB one iota. I just don’t believe he thought “Hey, it’s the little turd Hamler” and changed his approach in that fraction of a second in an attempt to KO a specific opponent. But that’s something only that DB knows.

It didn’t say bad season.... 8 wins would have led to hand wringing, 10 or more would have had us in the conversation for division title or more. Yes, 9 wins doesn’t move the needle for me....

When u go 0-3 vs your division rivals, to which we measure our success, at least I do, and u lose a bowl game....it's hard for the season to be anything but a major disappointment.
