I'm flummoxed by the state of Penn State Football.
Last year, much was made about the passing game, specifically the lack of receptions by our wideouts. We go out and bring in 3 guys via the portal. Great. And yet, our passing game has become more anemic than ever. How in the hell does Kyron Hudson get shutout in prime time? Like seriously...how does this happen?
The offensive line - they can't provide enough space for Singleton or Allen to do much of anything. Two really good backs who have no where to run far too often.
Franklin. You know, you listen to Ryan Day, you listen to Dan Lanning, you listen to Kirby Smart, you listen to the head coach of every top team in the country and they talk about winning a national title. James Franklin talks about fan's expectations. He talks about the importance of being included in the conversation as being one of the top teams in the country. He doesn't talk about titles. It's like he knows he's an outside and he wants to be included in the "cool kids club" and that's good enough for him. It's not exactly a winning mentality.
This team has a chance at being one of the most overrated preseason picks in recent memory. Though, they won't be on FSU's level last year, but you almost can count the Columbus school as loss, at Iowa seems scary right now, and can this team score enough against Indiana? I don't want to overreact but how good is this team, really? It's not like they lit the world on fire playing their first 3 games against teams that ranked 136 out of 136 on strength of schedule.
