there have been times in Penn State football history where Joe made moves with players from O to D and vice versa to plug holes. sometimes best available is not the next guy on the depth chart. one place we have holes vs the run happy teams would be DT. Izzard is actually a DE who we made a DT, so lacks size vs run heavy teams. loss of PJ was huge.
