Exactly. We are 8-1 against all the elite and powerhouse teams we have played. Oh wait........Yup, the offense isn't hurting this team at all. Not one bit..... Let me know when our offense does something against a good defense. When it does, I will be first to congratulate them. Until them, let's not ignore the teams and level of competition we are playing while saying our offense won't be a problem. You honestly think our offense won't hurt when playing a good defense?? Yup Alot of other teams would die for our schedule. Think we'd be 8-1 in the SEC? Scratch that, I already know you do.

We're 8-1 because of our defense and because other teams make bad mistakes at critical times. PERIOD!!!

With just an average D, we are 5-4 right now.

It's odd how only certain games can count for PSU like some other teams are playing much better schedules in the BT. 5-6 weeks ago no way in hell did most think PSU would be sitting at 8-1. We can see there are some big holes on the O, but nobody ever wrote a rule saying you can't win ugly. I didn't see the few here complaining say PSU would cruise to 8-1 and maybe they are pissed because of it.

I know it's a long shot, but I want PSU to win as many as they can in November. 1, 2, or even all 3. At this point we can't expect anything other than an ugly W, but I'll take it. If that is taboo...sorry, but I'd rather see the team win than some other BS because Joe is the HC.

Let's not kid ourselves though into thinking we have dominated D all game and led close games all season. We won 2 games by last minute drives. (temple and illinois) .

Yes, we are 8-1, But there's one thing with realizing that......and realizing that knowing we EASILY could be staring at 2-3 more losses. It's called being realistic and not getting carried away by the record. Even a great D needs an offense to come through more than just on last minute drives. That won't work vs the teams we are coming up to face. We need an offense because OSU and even Neb and Wisconsin can give our O fits.

I suppose Penn State is the only team to have any squeaker wins?? Glad to see that all the other good teams have blown all their competition away. It amazes me that we can be sitting at 8-1 and people are bit**ing about how we got here. Really?? We are freak'n 8-1!! Let's be happy for crying out loud. The D has carried us for a good part of the season. But let's now forget the D was not good as a whole against Northwestern and the Offense (led by Redd and MM) carried us to a win. I actually like our chances against Neb and OSU. Not saying we are going to win but I like our chances. Our D has the ability to shut down both of those one-dimensional offenses and our O has the ability to put points on the board. When Redd is running well, the pass opens up. @ Wisky is going to be tough but hopefully we will still have a cushion going into that game.\

With regards to Bolden, it is not the coaching staff that has failed him. Do not forget that RB came from a run offense in HS. He doesn't read the defense well and is blind as a bat in the pocket. He was good early on because defenses respected his arm strength. After watching his pocket presence, teams are blitzing him every play because they know he cannot read it. If you really believe that the coaches haven't tried to work with him on that than you are really not that intelligent. He just doesn't get it and it appears he will never get it. Quit the talk about how if he went to a real school he would have been red-shirted last year and developed. He wouldn't have accepted a RS anywhere without threatening to transfer. He has proven that his dad has obviously misinformed him that he is D1 stud QB. He simply is not and is very far from that. Attitude is part of that. Look at Stephon Green for example. The kid has screwed up a lot off the field but I don't think you could find a better teammate on the sideline whether he plays or not. The kid just cares about his team and PSU. It is obvious RB does not. If that is the case, then he should transfer and Joe should let him go. He only hurts team chemistry. If you watch some fo the games from earlier this year, you consistently see the WRs shaking their heads at half of the passes that RB throws during the game.

do you think for one second that bolden would lead a scoring a drive during the final minute of the game yesterday? hmmm I would care who the qb would be in that kind situatuion. Matt had a bad game but during the last drive he came through for the team.

exactly, i was fine with bolden getting a shot in the second half i couldn't aruge,i was very excited in fact because Mcgloin was not productive at all during the first half i was hoping for some type of spark. but he only turned to out be worse then Mcgloin. Its Mental as everyone could see. and i think we will see bolden again if matts not productive again as he was in the first and 3rd half. my dad said the only way penn state going to win if silas gets in the endzone. and it made me think how sad its is to rely on a running back to have good game all time in order to win. Not once this year the team has won because of the MM or RB perfomence its been the D and the running backs who won it

It was much better wasting 3 quarters with the other scrub on the field.

zzzzzz

And no...what did us in was your guy doing NOTHING for his 3 quarters until a miracle happened. But yeah you're right. Let's blame RB in his 1 quarter of work for the reason we were down late in the game. NOT the guy who actually played 3 full quarters until the final 2 minutes.
