Really happy with the improvements by the defensive front seven and the performance of the offensive line. Need to remember that this is game two. Need to keep moving forward and keep getting better.

Went down to my daughter's tonight to go trick-or-treating with the grandsons (3&6). Second house they went to was Master Teague's parents. When I asked Mrs. Teague if Master was going to get 2 TD's tonight she replied, "Or maybe 3." Wish he had gotten 3, but was glad to see him go over 100 yards.

Feel a lot better about the run game now. Not game-breakingly good but they still managed nearly 5 yards a carry against a pretty stout D without running Fields at all.

Forgot to mention, seems pretty obvious that the Bucks staff sold out on making Penn State play left handed. Took the tight end and the run game away and rolled the dice on the back end. Dotson made some plays, it happens.

My thoughts...
1) Just like last week, I’ll start with gushing over Justin Fields. This will probably happen weekly. South Carolina Barbie gets all of the attention, but the best player in CFB is in Columbus. Fields is an NFL player right now. He can put the ball wherever he wants it and often makes it look easy. I wish we could have him for more than 2 seasons.
2) Much better game from the OL and RBs tonight. Much, much better. But we still miss the explosiveness of Dobbins. Teague is a grinder who can break one if the holes are there, but he’s not gonna create much. Sermon has had a few good runs, but it’s easy to see why he got passed up on OU’s depth chart.
3) Olave/Wilson are the best WR due we’ve ever had. They are absolutely ridiculous and both will be very good players on Sundays. And all that talent behind them. It’s scary. Nice to see the TEs worked into the O tonight, too.
4) Strong DL play carried over from the second half of the Corn game. Awesome to see. They manhandled the Ped Aggy OL.
5) LB play was much better tonight. They looked lost at times against Corn, but seemed much more dialed in and cohesive tonight. That said, I wish we would see a lot less of Tuf. I’m sure he’s a great kid and a hard worker, but he is a liability in terms of speed/athleticism.
6) I thought the DBs played very well last week. I don’t know what the fuck that was tonight. Wade had his lunch money and sneakers stolen tonight. Hopefully it was just a bad game. Banks was really bad at times, too.
7) I hope Haubeil is okay, because if not I hope we don’t have any games coming down to a FG.
Anyway, great day. Overall, a great win in Rhythmic Slappy Valley, Pedtards are 0-2 and scUM lost to an awful little brother team. I’d like to see us hang 60 on Rutgers next week.

I hate ends of games like that when they shut the play-calling down the entire 4th quarter and go vanilla. I understand game is in hand and they don't want to show anything, but there is no flow and the 4th quarter seems to drag along as we repeatedly put a tired defense that didn't play very well the 2nd half back onto the field. All bc they won't call plays on 3rd down that even give you a chance to pick up a 1st down. Quickest way to get the game over and out of there with the W and no injuries is to continue to move the chains not keep punting it back to PSU.
I've seen it enough to have a strong opinion that I don't care for it. If you are going to do that, put the back-ups in on offense and let them get some plays on tape so at least they are meaningful snaps. I don't feel they got any better running the crap they did in the 4th quarter.

When you're trying to avoid a viral minefield every week, it's very satisfying to get another W in the books.

Just skimming here and there.....I'm seeing people down on the defense. What are you watching? We did what was needed against a garbage program. We knew they couldn't hang with us....so why waste anything against these fucking turds. The D was fine, the offense is obviously fucking golden. Why would you fire up all cylinders when you absolutely know you don't have to? Fuck Penn State....they don't even need both barrels from this machine. They can be quelled with like a third of our abilities.
