Penn State's Winston out with 'long-term' injury
Penn State's Kevin Winston Jr., ESPN's No. 2-ranked safety prospect for the 2025 NFL draft, will be out indefinitely with a "long-term" injury, coach James Franklin said.
Penn State safety Kevin Winston out with 'long-term' injury
Penn State's safety Kevin Winston Jr., who led the team in tackles in 2023, will be sidelined with what coach James Franklin on Wednesday called a "long-term" injury.Winston, a 6-foot-2, 208-pound junior, suffered the injury in the first quarter of the No. 10 Nittany Lions' Sept. 7 win over Bowling Green and did not return. A preseason All-America candidate, Winston earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors following Penn State's season-opening win at West Virginia, where he had a career-high 12 tackles and a forced fumble.
Franklin did not elaborate on Winston's injury or give a potential timetable for his return.

Leave it to the cult to turn Minnesota's misfortune (with the onside offside kick) into a "woe is us" thread.

I think I don't believe the thing about the 20-mile radius of Columbus thing.
This argument is funny. If the numbers were reversed, it wouldn't be based on the referees' fairness - it'd be because the PSU players were more disciplined than their opponents.
That's the first I've heard that play being the reason for instant replay.

Oh it's that time of the season. Bounce pass, time ran out field goal, impactful calls, Joe invented instant replay. You can set your watch to it.

To be fair, it's pretty much always "that time of the season", even during the off-season. But yes, their message boards overflow with these comments during this "time of the season". I mean, that thread I linked wasn't even started about one of their games. But they have to make it about them.

I have a very low opinion of USC's defense. I think PSU can handle them.

That happened in 2021 and 2018 and arguably vs Pitt in 2016 (not counting 2020)
In every other year, their identity has been TCB against everyone they should beat and losing to every top 10 team they face
While USC is by no means a top 10 team, I don’t really see them as someone that PSU has no business losing to. The pedsters are favored by only 3.5

Would the 87 Fiesta Bowl strategy of blasting the receivers every time they are targeted work today?
Would it be too rough and draw a penalty? In particular thinking of how to handle Ohio State's receivers.
pennstate.forums.rivals.com
So the question is about hitting receivers early and often throughout the game to avoid them from being a factor in a mismatch. The original poster is specifically referring to Ohio State - take the receivers out of the game to neutralize that advantage. He's wondering if it would get penalties called, and brings up some Fiesta Bowl in 1987. Not knowing the game, I'll just use my imagination.
So one guy says:
Response:
The next guy seems to take offense to the hypothetical nature of the situation:
I find it really funny that the one response was by a guy who took offense at the suggestion that maybe someone at Penn State didn't do things the right way.
Then, even after a couple of people rationalize (rightly, in my opinion) that the rules were different back then, and what is against the rules now used to be perfectly fine, another guy comes in and just tries to dismiss the whole allegation that something dirty happened on the field.
