Week 2 Success Criteria

[mcm265]

How do you define a successful week 2?

1.) Play well - win or lose
2.) Just a win (no style points)
3.) Win and look good
4.) Win by 20+
5.) Narduzzi bends the knee (GoT reference)

Well, it's hard to say..... I fully believe the Doozer is going to try to run the ball and control the clock and TOP. His strategy will be to lose, but only by 7-14 points, then claim victory because Penn State couldn't cover the spread.

It's Doozie..... that's how he operates.

5...........and even then it's still not good enough. They should have reached that point and still dropped 3 more touchdowns on them.

Franklin always answers this really well, and it is his consistent answer. Penn State needs to play up to Penn State's A+ standard, for four quarters. It's not really about Pitt, it's about Penn State players playing their positions well and executing the play calls. If they do that, the game outcome takes care of itself.

And really that is so different from last year. Last year Penn State was young and in transition, and nobody (except maybe Franklin and the coaches) knew what they had. This year it is apparent what PSU has on this team. They show up, play smart, play physical for four quarters, good things will result. They don't have to overachieve, they don't need anybody to try too hard. They just all need to worry about their own position and play it as well as they can, and the game will be theirs.

And who cares about the margin of victory, though I suspect that will take care of itself if PSU plays like they are capable of playing and like they played last weekend.
