When was the last time that Penn State was penalized that much?\n<li type=\"square\">Somebody finally figured out to attack the Nittany Lions secondary. That unit needs a major upgrade, so that maybe <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Tom Bradley<\/span> won&#8217;t feel the need to play 10 yards off the line.\n<li type=\"square\">How did USC lose to Oregon State?\n<li type=\"square\">Why no on-side kicks in the fourth quarter?\n<li type=\"square\">Why a field goal instead of going for six?\n<li type=\"square\">I appreciated the Nittany Lions pulling it together in the second half and getting several scores. They did not quit, good for them.\n<li type=\"square\">Sadly, a healthy <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Evan Royster<\/span> would not have made that big a difference I think.\n<li type=\"square\">The offensive line, Penn State&#8217;s best in over a decade, did not look too good yesterday.\n<li type=\"square\">QB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Daryll Clark<\/span> had a solid outing and will hopefully learn from it.\n<li type=\"square\">I am really going to miss Derrick Williams, Deon Butler and Jordan Norwood. Those three provided four excellent years of football. Hopefully they have not played their last games. I know Williams has not and think Butler can get a job in the NFL. Norwood? I don&#8217;t know.\n<li type=\"square\">So, how far did <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Aaron Maybin<\/span>&#8216;s draft status fall yesterday? I want him back.\n<li type=\"square\">I won&#8217;t miss <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Anthony Scirriotto<\/span> at all. That he never missed game time for his stupidity on April 1, 2007 is a major error by <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Joe Paterno<\/span>. I won&#8217;t miss watching Scirriotto get beat deep any more. Good riddance, jerk!\n<li type=\"square\">I thought the officiating was poor and favored USC, but ultimately, it was about 0.05% of the reason Penn State lost.\n<li type=\"square\">Overall, this was a shockingly good season. I figured replacing <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Anthony Morelli <\/span>was +2 wins, but losing <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Sean Lee<\/span> was -1. Had Lee been healthy, they would be playing in the BCS title game, though they would not have necessarily fared better than they did yesterday. Still, a Big11Ten title is a lot to be proud of, especially since they exorcised their Michigan and Columbus demons. Apparently, the big one left is Iowa.<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/website_3c1e0e40\/graphics\/technorati.gif\" border=\"0\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/PennState\" rel=\"tag\">Penn State<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/NittanyLions\" rel=\"tag\">Nittany Lions<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/RoseBowl\" rel=\"tag\">Rose Bowl<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/USC\" rel=\"tag\">USC<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
