Blue White Post Game

Stephon Green, Stephon Green, Stephon Green. Ok, so I'm not as excited as the rest of the Penn State fan base, but it was really nice to see someone break a long touchdown run for once. However, things weren't quite as crisp as I hoped it would be.

There were no interceptions, which, after last season was a big positive. But it seemed like the defensive line, as talented as those guys are, got through to the quarterbacks a bit too quickly. I really hope it wasn't a problem with the offensive line, but rather that Penn State's defensive line is just that good.

The wide receivers were as good as advertised, with a standard spring game double reverse wide receiver pass (as I predicted). I was very pleased to see Andrew Szczerba's performance. It should make us all that much more comfortable, should Andrew Quarless not return.

And finally, a brief comment on the quarterbacks. Penn State needs to use both Clark and Devlin in 2008. Clark still needs a lot of work on his arm, but offers the running ability every one's talking about. Devlin has twice the touch Anthony Morelli ever had, and can actually survive a post-game interview without saying "...you know?" 50 times. Again, no interceptions was a huge stat.

So that's it. Now all we can do is wait for the preview magazines to hit the shelves in a few weeks. I hate this time of year. It's the farthest point from football. Let's hope the team gets its act together over the next three months, hits the books and the weight room, and stays out of trouble.
