Kind of insane that they’re asking college kids to play 15+ games now. This isn’t the NFL, there is no “waiver wire” when you have injuries.

Yeah, it’s very obvious it’s too much for them. PSU might be relatively healthy, but Texas and OSU are very beat up too, obviously not to the same extent as us.

Denbrock hasnt chipped Abdul once. Has stopped rushing Love. Hasn't thrown beyond 4 yards besides a couple to Evans. Runs right into the PSU blitz. He's getting worked.

yeah I have no patience for this whining about the players and coaches during the best ND season in a generation when they're down to the practice squad
Exactly. They aren't giving up and Angeli has thrown (pun intended) a bit of a wrinkle into Penn's D strategy. I love our guys!

The biggest adjustment still needs to be to stop playing man and keying on Warren

The up tempo, motion is killing them. They aren’t set to defend the run because they don’t want certain guys covering Warren.

Play a vanilla Cover 2 base. See ball, hit ball.

It used to be common to play 10 or 11 games in a season. If they wanna do 4 game playoffs and conference title games, they should go back to that.

At any given time, even a blue blood team likely aren't 3 deep at a position. You are lucky if you have 2 or 3 backup linemen ready to go.

Is there anyone in the press box helping Denbrock telling him what’s going on? If not send his ass up there

The zone run scheme they are running is working well against attacking LBs. They need to be a bit more disciplined in backside contain IMO.
