The first thing I do as soon as the clock hits triple zeroes at Ford Field is fire Trautwein. This offensive line has so much damn experience and they don't have a single clue how to block.

See you critics should appreciate the patience and skill of our staff and players. If you ever coached you would know I’m right.

Indiana didn’t know what to do because Penn State didn’t bang it up the middle.

Not to be Debbie Downer but it took a muffed punt and short field to pull that off. I'm not concerned with the offense's ability in the red zone, but VERY concerned about their ability to drive the field.

I doubt if it is possible for PSU to lose to IU (IU is just too God-awful).
But anyone who may have been thinking this offense - which through 7 weeks (including 5 against bottom of the barrel opposition) hasn't shown the ability to do a single thing well - is somehow going to achieve competence against any decent level of competition was basing that on nothing but pure "hope".

It is what it is - and has been all year. Though I think we can add that (even though they have remained largely healthy all year) the O is getting even worse as the leaves begin to fall.

The issues with the O, throughout every level, are just too numerous to cover. (And, don't look now, but the supposed bell-cows on the D haven't been playing at the "hyped" levels of late either. Remember, to date they have faced one offense with a pulse).
This is a very fortunate year for PSU to be playing 10 games against "not good" programs.

That last drive was successful, but painful.
They needed a special teams play and two 4th down conversions. Against Indiana.

Michigan… omg. Last year’s 41-17 beatdown is going to look like a close game. We’re going to get murdered.

If you coached you would know it’s about winning and not looking pretty
