Rose Bowl: USC 38, Penn St. 24 (Final)

[OSUsushichic]

Penn State's defense is going to get awfully tired if this keeps up.

efffff - not the knee Royster...

Couldn't agree more. I'm convinced that the speed discussion is what these guys use as a safety net when they have no idea what to say.

At least they agreed that the skill positions are equal, saying it is just the backers and d-line that are faster.

I kinda think that myself. You did not lose to us Glendale because of a lack of WR and running back speed....our DEs blew you up the whole game.

Very surprised ESPN/ABC hasn't broke out the Ki-Jana Carter highlight film against Oregon yet.

They're playing USC, I don't think PSU will be glorified too much.

I'm sure glad ABC is now scrolling the continuous "As The World Turns with Brett Favre" crap they've been running all day on ESPN.

It was on all day with the MSU game too.....

Herbie: "WOW... this is great execution by USC". Ya, maybe because they were holding.

"This is outstanding execution by USC........except for the hold"

Brilliant analysis as always, Herbie.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

effffuck - come on PSU!

and the Herbieslurp continues...

 

[osu_edu]

sort of like how PSU held our defense most of the game and never got called....

The Fiesta blowout definitely had more to do with D-line speed (and a certain LT whiffing on every block). But most of the talking heads comments are about the skill players, and even if they're not, they're wrong. PSU's got two great speed rushing DEs. Before the game, they were definitely saying USC was faster overall, which means they haven't heard of Derrick Williams or the other PSU WRs, or they chose to ignore reality in favor of stereotype. I could understand the hubub after the Fiesta, because it certainly looked true on the field, but now it's become the only key to every game.

SC is quickly becoming my least favorite team in the country, next to ND of course. I honestly believe the program is dirty. How are you supposed to win when you are playing against the Colts?

PSU's d-line better start getting to Sanchez or its going to be a long day...
