very efficient, mistake-free performance
I'm more worried, honestly, about WR drops than Bo performing well. That's progress from last when when it was the reverse.

I don't know what kind of defensive team speed they have but they've got some big ol' boys in that front 7.


I only watched about 3/4 of their game against Wisconsin. But what I did see looked to be a pretty legit pass rush. Especially off the edge. I haven't exactly kept up with Wisky and their OL recruiting over the years, but it's a safe bet that they usually have a very good line.

We will know for sure if this OL has taken strides to be able to compete at a high level this year. This is my only major concern about this game. Bo goes as his OL goes I think.

We will have some WR’s returning for this game. Hopefully that helps

Agreed. I’d be thrilled with something like 17 for 24, 220 passing yards. Not asking for a heisman or all American season from Bo, but we need him to move the chains and limit mistakes. He’s more than capable
Yeah I'm thinking Jason Campbell-efficient under Borges with Caddy/Brown/Jacobs (Now with Tank/Shivers/Hunter). That was fun to watch. I hope we are right.

I think the Penn St. defense is legit and can play. I think their offense is suspect.

While it would be nice, I'm terrified it would make Bo revert back to thinking he can scramble


that's true. i'm thinking designed runs though.

... enough to open up the passing game

He's too nimble to not make the DL defend on three fronts.

The question most important. Nix, Tank and Hunter need this first of everything else .....

Has the change in coaching provided an Offensive Line that can correct and provide the protection needed to provide passing and run proficiency.

Last year things were so bad ....Nix had to first look for where the collapse was going to occur. Then look for a receiver. If that has not been corrected .... I don't care if Burrows is behind that line ....He does not win.
