Penn State breakdown Pt. 1



Instead of having a big long opening about what this blog is about (pretty obvious), I will jump right into what to expect in this upcoming match up with undefeated Pennsylvania State University.

Quarterback play will be the biggest X-factor in the game. Daryll Clark is dangerous. He is dangerous running the ball (190 yards, 8 TD) and dangerous throwing the ball (1531 yards, 11 TD, 2 INT). Our defense needs to put pressure on him all game. Pressuring Hoyer from Michigan State worked all game and the one possession we didn't bring the heat on Cousins, he led the Spartans down the field for a score. Terrelle Pryor (will be referred to as TP from here on out) has to play like he did last week, which means keeping his eyes down field, moving around, and not running backwards. When he feels pressure he has to get the ball off to the short route or try and take off and run. Where he gets into trouble is running backwards where defenders can take a better angle on him in pursuit.

I give the edge to TP. Lacks the experience of Clark but this is also Clark's first year and has yet to play in a hostile environment like the Horseshoe at night.
