Thanks, Jinxy!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li type=\"square\">Tight first half with the Penn State offense having trouble getting going. For the bowl game, I just want them to pretend they are starting the second half.\n<li type=\"square\">QB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Daryll Clark<\/span> is one of the slowest starters I have ever seen. He just gets too worked up. After he settled down, he could do no wrong, missing on only three of his last twenty passes. His 4 TDs gave him single season and career touchdown pass records for Penn State. He was Big Ten offensive player of the week.\n<li type=\"square\">RB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Evan Royster<\/span> had a great first half and not just for his long runs. Some of his 3 yard runs were huge because he eluded Michigan State tacklers in the backfield. Being able to maneuver out of trouble is what sets him apart. He sees the field so well.\n<li type=\"square\">OLB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Navarro Bowman<\/span> was a beast, especially in the first quarter. He lived up to his #11. He was named Big Ten defensive player of the week.\n<li type=\"square\">OLB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Sean Lee<\/span> also made some critical stops and big hits.\n<li type=\"square\">MLB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Josh Hull<\/span> got flagged for an iffy pass-interference call.\n<li type=\"square\">LOVE THE DRAKE! WR <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Curtis Drake<\/span> has a very promising future ahead of him &#8212; maybe he is the next <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Derrick Williams<\/span>.\n<li type=\"square\">Great job by TE <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Andrew Quarless<\/span> fighting for Drake&#8217;s TD pass. That turned the game around\n<li type=\"square\">WR <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Graham Zug<\/span> had another drop, possibility costing Penn State a touchdown, late in the first half. It would be his last as he caught 2 touchdown passes in the second half, stretching out over the goal line for one of them.\n<li type=\"square\">FB <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Joe Suhey<\/span> caught his first career touchdown pass too, going up high to reel in a Clark pass that was a little off target.\n<li type=\"square\">K <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Collin Wagner<\/span> needs to improve an awful lot if he wants to keep his job. He missed two field goals, though one was from about 50 yards out.\n<li type=\"square\">Another effective day of punting for <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Jeremy Boone<\/span>. He pinned MSU back often. He exceeded expectations during his career.\n<li type=\"square\">One could get dangerously intoxicated playing a <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Mike Patrick<\/span> drinking game. The ESPN play-by-play announcer was often wrong, especially in the first quarter.\n<li type=\"square\">QB Kevin Newsome saw spot duty in the second half, at least a series too late. He did score a TD, but did not attempt a pass. <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Matt McGloin<\/span> (not Mike!) got in as well for some reason.\n<li type=\"square\">No less than three shots of <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">P.J. Maierhofer<\/span> in the crowd during the second half.\n<li type=\"square\">Penn State is ranked #13 in the BCS Standings. I will have more on that situation today or tomorrow.\n<li type=\"square\">This was Penn State&#8217;s best effort of the season. The Spartans had advantages in the kicking game and typically play tough. That didn&#8217;t happen and Penn State really put it together in the second half. Excellent half-time adjustments by the coaching staff.<\/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\/collegefootball\" rel=\"tag\">college football<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/MichiganStateSpartans\" rel=\"tag\">Michigan State Spartans<\/a>,<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
