Couple of Comments about the Penn State game.....


Overall was pleased with the win, couple of general comments:

1. For 13th time this season, thought we came out and played hard and focused. I thought for last 2 years the team came to play every game and this was no exception. Outcomes not always there, but effort was there.
2. Coach BMAC seemed to be very composed on sideline, no real issue with any of his decisions although I probably would have tried a field goal with 2 minutes left or insisted Lilly come up with another play
3. Penn State was 4 of 5 on 4th down plays that helped keep them in game. Only time we stopped them on 4th down is when we brought pressure, thought our defense played way to soft in 4th quarter.
4. No real issue with referees other than fact one of our guys got smacked in jaw on once occasion and they call offsetting penalties.
5. Thought Lilly did some good things but should have done more play action and running out of the I formation when we got ahead instead of those read options that really don't work if your QB will not run the football.
6. Last call on 4th was really bad play call, we blocked fine at point of attack but their LB's came in from other-side and were not touched. Would have liked to seen play action and tried to hit TE going down middle.
7. Overall special teams were exceptional, covered punts and kicks very good. Hate that Marshall got hurt but he was way to inconsistent this year for sure.

All in all, fairly solid performance. Think if we would have played much more aggressive with lead we would have stretched it even more, perhaps 31-10 or something similar.
