UK beats Iowa with late td drive and then defensive pick. That's too bad.
Will Levis takes a knee for the win.

I posted this in the game thread but apropos here..
Sorry, I lose track of things in those threads.
A bit of irony here. If Levis doesn't transfer to Kentucky. He's taking a knee in the victory formation versus Iowa for Penn State's 6th win of the season. Life has strange twists.
comparison will now continue into next year as both guys will be playing. The Citrus announcers were talking about Levis being told he would be a late round NFL draft pick this year, and can possibly move up with another year.
Point is, we might have kept the wrong guy, but that's on Franklin and crew for not getting the most out of Levis.
I'm not sold either way on that one. Levis overthrew wide open receivers against Iowa just like Clifford. They're pretty much the same QB. Although Levis might be a better runner.
I'd also say given Levis' 6(?) Sacks yesterday he may be more durable/less injury prone, not a bad QB trait given the oline.
Perhaps you should watch him play at Kentucky. Strong & durable body with a strong and accurate arm. Exactly what will keep him out of the pros???
Perhaps you should read what I wrote. I didnāt say he wouldnāt make an NFL roster, I said he wonāt see much playing time.
I think it is the accuracy issue. If he goes to work this summer with the right guy he could play himself into a drafted QB.
He has some physical advantages that many don't have. He just needs better technique to elevate his game. He might be at his ceiling or he might have growth available to take him to the next level. Time will tell.
He had his chances was given the keys here. Crapped the bed in the opener against Indy fumbling on the 4 (FOUR) yd. line and taking forever on a 3rd and 1 , delay of game turned to 3rd and 6. Yep the same Levis.
Ruling out sarcasm on your part, coming from the board's quintessential optimist, this is somewhat depressing.F*ck us from all angles. Just sucks all around for PSU these days. I donāt see it getting better anytime soon.
No doubt. For awhile I thought that game was responsible for ruining the season. But in retrospect, the problems with the program go much, much deeper and there is no easy fix. Be prepared for more of the same for the foreseeable future.
