The backup quarterbacks are at minimum better if not way better than what we have had for several years. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I think they like what they've got. I'm getting this from some of the podcasts that I have listened to over the past two weeks. One of the things...

I like how you think. :p

Lester has compared Hecklinski to Tate. Says he is a "gunslinger". FWIW, when Warren Ruggiero was OC at Wake Forest, he thought that Hecklinski would end up being a four year starter there. I get the hesitancy to anoint a 5'10" QB but I do think it's a possibility in college FB. I'm not...

Kirk said in his post game news conference that Hecklinski had practiced well and passed Brown. My gut feeling is that this came from Lester, who really seems to like him. Kirk did say that it was still very close and not to make too much out of it. But I got the feeling that if Gronowski...

If Graves had scored it would mark the 17th consecutive year that our defense has had a pick six. And we don't have one this year yet. I would hate to miss out on what amounted to about a foot short.

Possible they were saving that for when it is needed more than this game. If you can run it down their throats and you're up by a comfortable margin the whole game, you hold off on that bag of tricks. I agree with the idea and I do think we'll see it at some point.

Yes, our opponents have pretty effectively sniffed out the jet sweep to Wetjen. Which is why they should be using it as a decoy as Fry suggested. If you put him in motion it makes the defense hesitate for just a split second. Which can make something else work in our favor.

They will lean heavily on the run. They know that and we know that. If Phil can get our defense to limit the run (I don't think we shut it completely down), that will force Grunkmeyer to make some plays. They have two excellent running backs so this won't be an easy task.

I agree that the hype doesn't always match the actual results. But I am more interested though. It's got me thinking of purchasing a mini package of 3-4 games this year. Sort of a tryout to see if I want to get season tickets next year. I look for attendance to be up quite a bit this year...

I remember seeing something before the season about how xx number of years in a row there is a preseason top 10 team that ends up out of the rankings. It happens virtuallly every year. Penn State will certainly be in that category this year.

I think he is easily our best receiver. Would like to see him redshirt but they may not be able to keep him off the field.

I watched this, wow. You almost have to feel sorry for Fickell. He can't sit up there and say he has no answers but he has no answers. It will be really tough to keep that team together for the rest of the season.

Firing coaches early season is all the rage. Does Wisky have the balls? Fickell is so clearly a dead man walking. Does Wiscy have the $$? :rolleyes:

It seems like Rutgers starts out every game with things going well and they take a decent lead. Then they fall apart and lose. Washington, on the other hand, seems to start slow and trail most of their games, then come back to win.

One tidbit that I read was that Trey Thompson has exceeded expectations so far and is looking very good, at least offensively, so far. Defense is where he will have to catch up. Also, Isaia Howard is coming off a strong end of last season and has looked the part so far. i.e. making a jump...

Pretty much like all of the other coaches since Bobby Knight.

Yes, you can play in up to four games and still take the redshirt. You would have to think that is on their minds.

This is where I am at too.

KF said at his press conference today that RVZ was good to go. So it sounds like they plan on playing him.

No Patterson. Sounds like his ankle is still an issue. High ankle sprains can be weeks to get back from.
