Ok. Computer crashed with my notes.
Offensive line was just dominating. Looks a LOT better with Donovan Smith and Farrell at tackle. Shrive got some time at guard and looked decent from what I saw.
McGloin was the worst he's been all year. Left at least 21 more points on the field.
Defense is playing better. Wouldn't say they are playing great, but they are better. NW will challenge us much like Ohio did because of their tempo.
No Redd, No Problem. Running game ran for about 175 yards. I think in a perfect game, you'd see PSU run for 150-160, and throw for 250-275. Offense is getting close to being unstoppable. If they get the running game consistent, look out. Linebackers won't be able to drop into zones, and have to play more honest. Robinson saw his first bracket game. Lehman is a matchup problem, along with Carter. Felder or Kenney...STEP UP!
The hit on Lehman. Agree with the penalty, not so much on the ejection.
Mauti is an absolute beast, but I'm not so sure that Hull isn't our most athletic LB. He's playing really good football (as is Mauti, Carson and Hodges).
Illinois is a very undisciplined team. I saw a quote somewhere, and it definitely applies. Penn State got their coach from the Patriots, Illinois got theirs from Toledo. Even sanctioned there's no comparison in the programs.
Lou Holtz AND Mark May were extremely positive towards Penn State. Unheard of.
Brian Griese talking up PSU. Loved the Hackenberg talk, but nothing about Breneman, however made a great point about the Big Ten being a spread offense conference, and if you're a pro-style QB, and an elite TE, why are you not considering Penn State? I'd add in WR's to that mix as well.
We're 5 games in, and Penn State is improving each week. This week it was the domination of the OL, and the emergence of the RB's. Been a long time since I was able to say, PSU is getting better each week.
Final thoughts: This team could be very dangerous. There's not a team the rest of the year that IMO has the defense to completely shut down PSU's offense. Wisconsin looked awful, Ohio State going into the MSU game was giving up almost 400 yards a game, Purdue gave up a ton of yards to Marshall. Indiana gave up 700 to Northwestern.

Wondering the same. He did hire the guy that was HC at UNC last year and he has a solid defensive background so I'll be anxious to see what happens if OSU's D doesn't improve. They do have a ton of talent but are mostly a very young and inexperienced D.

Regarding the ejection, I don't think that particular play was worthy of an ejection but the ejection came from an Illinois trend. #1 for Illinois was called for targeting early, then he targeted again on a no call. Then #9 targets for the 3rd time on a clear "what are you doing?" dumbass hit. I think the ejection was a signal to the Illini instead of an ejection for that particular hit.

They are getting torched. Including the MSU game in which they looked ok (Maxwell had like 280 passing and I think he sucks), they are giving up 376 yards per game, 275.6 via the air. Cal had 512 yards in total offense and the offensive juggernaut in UAB had 403.
