    You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game, life or football-the margin for error is so small. -Pacino

    I mean, ESPN is on record saying that this class is special in terms of QBs and they think he is the best of the crop, yet, no 5th star? I think they are just waiting until they see more from him in season and in other camps (Opening) to give it to him. In the past, there is always at least one QB (even when they werent that elite) and this class is supposed to be "special" in terms of QB and there is no 5 star QB? But thats OK, Hack is a gamer. He will bring it. I hope ESPN is ready to give a Penn Stater a 5th star and admit that we are on the way back. #HatersGonHate

    Thanks. +1 Someone did. I was just trying to see what they had to say if they disagreed... I think Hack is that good.

    Horrible. And they are off on a lot of guys... Douglas is a 3 star...

    I would love to see everyone have us dead to water and then come out with a '05 like team(minus the Michigan bs) and show them what we really have cooking

    I think we are going to surprise a LOT of people... This staff will have us ready from a gameplan standpoint. We have a lot of under-rated players on the national landscape.

    I think we will even surprise the casual Penn state fan. People like my own father don't even know who the quarterback is going to be next year. This is such an exciting time.

    Heck yeah. I was a BOB skeptic and mad at the hire, but I am the biggest supporter ever. Sooooo proud of our staff. We will come out of this better than ever.

  • are we talking about surprising people this year? i think we will have a good season with a win over osu, but last year we barely pulled off a win against temple and our team hasn't gained much "star power" Matty is still slated as the QB and fagnano i have on good report is lucky to run a 5 flat and he is slated as a guy who may see a lot of time depending on how the freshman settle in

    i will probably be downvoted but im hoping for a ten win season and hopefully more will go our way

    Note: in no way am i a penn state downer by any means and can never bet on anything penn state related because i am such a homer for our great program

    ....idk i figured tom bradley as pretty damn good and im not convinced our defense will thrive under roof...i think the pieces we have now even a mediocre D coach could put up some amazing stats, especially against the run

    I think our defense is going to be just fine and that a lot of our players of under-rated. if a couple freshmen step up and can play nickel, with Dirky playing CB Amos can move back to S and be a stud... The rest of the D is scary... Our offense will be improved DRASTICALLY. Our offensive coaching was horrible... Just really bad. And we won IN SPITE of our offense over the last few years.

    I agree, i think our front seven will be Nasty this year, Mike M back to health same with Pete M all spells out good things for our front 7. Concerned about the secondary but if Roof attacks like everybody says then that should help the secondary. Even though our O has lost some pieces from last year we still have Redd and the Oline reports have been good (thats something we haven't heard in 10 years) We have a QB taking all the snaps and a coach who wants to win games with both offense and defense. I think we are going to have a good season. Maybe great if things fall right. I excited to see how the teams progresses as the season goes on. that will tell us a lot about Obrien. Good coaches will always have their team improving, Joe used to do this many years ago.

    Apparently you are such a big supporter of this staff that it has wiped your memory clean of knowledge about some really good times in PSU football or you just never knew in the first place.

    FYI -- between 1978 and 1986, PSU was in 4 bowl games pitting #1 vs #2 so was playing for the national championship, and in Paterno's first 20 years he won 81% of his games. So you're delusional if you expect this staff to do *better* than that -- it would be extraordinary for them to even come close to matching it
