The Lions' Pride

Mcgloin got two first downs .....oh they were two penalties both for 15

I agree whole-heartedly!

Turnovers (fumbles and INT's) and dropped passes killed PSU yesterday. Not the coaches. Bolden's gotta be the #1, and remain there and grow with the team.

Paterno coached teams always had that tendency to get better as the year went on. Let's keep our fingers crossed we stay "injury free" and our team improves.

not if the coaches keep doing this two quarterback system crap I would understand if he would want to transfer, he won the job fair and sqaure,

Vast majority???? Really I think they split the series.

I think that McGloin benefited last year from being a relative unknown. Alabama obviously had him scouted well and had their D-backs ready to jump every route on a 3 step drop knowing that the deep ball wasn't going to be much a factor. I'm a big MM fan, but teams will be better prepared for the fast release game he brings to the table, and I agree he should listed as 2, not 1B next week.

Couple other thoughts in response to posts on this thread...
The atmosphere seemed great on TV, but all those red shirts really stood out. Looked like a pink out.
I didn't think the playcalling was that bad. Great defenses who are well prepared make playcalling look bad.

I think you are getting confused with level of talent and scouting. McGloin arm strength sucks. It would be great in Div II or III but has not place at an upper level. It is not scouting mcgloin can not perform against players of bamas level. I am not saying bolden is an all american but his skills allow him to do somethings vs bama. IO know so many want to pretend that being a walkon and an elite 11 qb means nothing once they are on campus but reality is reality. Skill sets are what gets you rankings and how you use them is what makes you great. But no matter what walkon qb will never have the arm to play this caliber of a team. Lets hope we get fuller and jones learns that college is about books and maybe we can all be happy never to see mcgloin on the field again and instead all you walkon fans can go get his autograph before the game at the student bookstore pretending like he was something special

I think he should not even be an option. It may not be a fault that he is on the field but at PSU level he should not even be an option. His attitude does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. "je will be a fine back up to me" Tells me he does not get it and thinks he is better than he is. So yes McGloin is fine as far as being a guy doing the best with his lack of skills. BUt he is a failure whne it comes to attitude. and this staff needs to tak emost of the blame for putting us in the situation we ar enow in. Joe has gone against everything he has taught and has put himself before what is best for the team and university.

Yup, 1 of 10 passing for 0 yards. He lives off of quick, short passes and Bama stopped those like the plague. He had ZERO chance of threading the needle to complete a pass.

So you're wishing injury upon someone?

Gotcha

I agree with everything you have put down EXCEPT one thing. I'm assuming you think Nebraska might not be as good because Fresno hung with them and put 29 points on the board in Lincoln. Fresno plays people tough on the road and secondly, Fresno has churned and developed some very good Quarterbacks. Its not like they have a second rate QB under center for Pat Hill. That hasn't happened in a while.

You don't know the history of Fresno at all then. You are treating them like New Mexico State with your comments. Look at their history. When they go on the road and play a big time opponent, they usually hang in there.

I think Nebraska gets to the Big 10 title game without question. Do I think they are so good? No, but I think they are a possible top 10 team. So, Nebraska is as beatable as Alabama coming into Happy Valley? We saw what happened yesterday. Nebraska's defense will be lights out when it comes. Too much talent not to be.

Didn't watch the game... but much like ND vs USF (poor example cuz ND lost to UM i know) score isnt always everything.... If Nebraska didnt dominate them in the trenches then there is something for husker fans to worry about

Spare the crap. You again are showing you know nothing about its history. I don't give a crap if its in the Southland. Boise State was affiliated with the WAC for years. They sure owned the respect of alot and deserve it. Nevada, which has upset some pretty decent teams over the last decade is in there. Just because they are int he WAC doesn't mean they suck.

You are missing ALOT dude. Pat Hill has the "I will play anyone anywhere attitude" If you didn't know this, you are living under a rock.

2004 - upset #13 Kansas State in Manhattan 45-21
2005 - lost to #1 USC 50-42 in LA in a classic
2008 - lost 47-45 in OT at #13 Texas A&M
2009 - lost to Wisconsin 13-10
lost at #13 Cincinnati 28-20

I could put more down. Only a fool who doesn't know anything about Fresno State has your attitude. No one called them a top 25 team. Who is calling Nebraska the preseason BIG champ? Not me, I think they lose to Wisconsin in the title game. You are missing alot. Any TV personality on TV that knows college football would think you don't know Fresno at all; are living under a rock, or are a fool.
