At the time I wrote that he was not throwing well. Specifically he was missing wide open receivers in the end zone. Since then he has found his rhythm.
As for the ACC Lite issue, what is this sky is falling stuff? Penn State getting drilled (presently) by ND is one thing. Iowa has it tied up with Da "Cuse. If Iowa's greater depth holds true in the 2nd half the line could still be good or, at minimum, preditictive.
That would leave Penn State as the sole exhibit in your "Big 10 is ACC Lite" argument. Who are, remember, playing away in South Bend - and failing to take advantage of two early opportunities to quash ND drives.
They have to hunker down at half-time, in a very big way.
