When you have no passing game and PSU hasn't in years outside of a freak at TE last year.....there is no reason to worry about it so teams load up to stop the ground game. The odd thing is PSU is still running the ball when Allen is getting the carries as he should have been all along, but using 2000-2005 tag line arguments about the OL seem to hit home with some.

Meanwhile the DL is getting carved up like they are pudding, there is no shot at stopping the run game....and people are talking about the OL. What's changed, the DL and LB play is below average, they cannot get off the field.....so we'll blame the OL. SMFH at some of the takes I see online. OL is not perfect, but this defense under Knowles has been an utter failure. AK has done nothing to address the passing game or scheme....so we'll just keep spinning those tires in the mud.

Absofreakinglutely.
I like James and was/is a fan but I want to know what the hell he was thinking by bringing Andy K and his 2qb option offense with a drop back passer. He's probably wondering why too since I think thats the reason he's gone.

The opposing defense is breaking the line of scrimmage before our O Line is getting out of their stance . They are SLOW, poor footwork and BAD RUN BLOCKING TECH. All you have to do is watch the line play.

Just because you type in bold or caps doesn't make it right.
Explain then how Allen had 145 yards rushing against an Iowa team that is good against the run.
Try looking at the passing yardage.
Let me rip a page from your playbook.
WATCH THE IOWA GAME AGAIN AND LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE BOX.

A team with LBs worse than their DTs.

A few things. We lost the best player since Barkley on offense and I think the final few games of last year were a little over hyped, in regards to how good the OL actually was/is.

As a team, PSU rushed for just over 3,200 yards last year with a 5.3 yards per attempt average. This included 297 yards rushing against Oregon in the B1G Championship and 204 yards rushing against ND. I think the OL was above average last year. This year, not so much.
