Here's my mid-season report card on Penn State Nam's Noodle: My Penn State Mid-Season Report Card
2 minor disagreements. I wouldn't give McGloin an A+ based on his performance against Ohio. He left at least 28 points on the field with poor throws or very bad reads missing wide open guys who would have walked in to end zone. I'd give him a B+ or A-. He is improving each week though and is night and day compared to last year with some better QB coaching. Makes me very excited about how good Hackenberg will be in this system under O'Brien.
Also disagree quite a bit about Redd being biggest loss. Our running game is rolling, but losing Fera has directly cost us at least 1 win. He is leaps and bounds better than both our punter and FG kicker. Fera was a HUGE blow. Redd was good, but if I could get any kid back on the team its Fera without question
We've left a lot of points out there because we can't kick FGs. It's still hard to digest that UVA loss. We see a lot of bogging down on the opponent's side of the field, as well. MM has been a little shakier the last couple of weeks, but the comeback last week had to give him some more confidence.
yeah, the kicker has cost us points, but McGloin literally missed 4-5 wide open guys with overthrows or just completely not seeing them wide open and throwing underneath that would have given us an easy 28-35 more points in the first half of the Ohio game. I';m not sure how it translated to TV, but I was in the endzone and could see everything unfolding and he just flat out missed guys.....can't give him an A+ after that performance.
Whats worse is that Virginia has gone on to lose six straight after defeating Penn State!
Richie Anderson Jr. switched from MD to PSU to follow in his dad's footsteps. Also have a commit for next year's class, Mark Allen, RB
So what do you think our chances are at upsetting Nebraska this weekend? And if Penn State does win, do they deserve to be in the top 25?
WOW, recruiting news getting positive. Let's just say a certain 4 star WR/DB and one of top players in state of PA, who had dropped us after sanctions, got in touch with the staff this week, has a coach visiting today and watching his game tonight and has been in touch with Hack. This kid would be a great get and i a very dynamic player. Also, he's not the only kid reconsidering and contacting the staff.....former commits or players with high interest. BOB may close strong after all.
It wouldn't happen to be Tyler Boyd would it?
yeah... why no name? jinxing purposes??
OL/DL (projected as DT at PSU) 3 star Parker Cothren has switched from Purdue to Penn State after visiting last weekend. Things also looking very good with top JUCO QB Jake Waters. his team plays for the JUCO National title in a week or 2.
Heard an interview with his HC on the radio yesterday. Says he's down to Penn St and K State.

Believe it or not IWCC only added football to their athletics in 2009. Pretty impressive to be playing for the National title in 4 seasons.
