In fact, Clemson already has THREE losses this year after all of those insane recruiting classes. How is that possible? #FireDabo
LSU went from all-world to complete trash overnight with the same coach. Total fall from grace despite. #FireCoachO
All the Florida schools are complete and total dumpster fires. Miami, FSU & Florida. Think about the advantages they have and how awful they somehow are. #AnnexFlorida
Speaking of advantages, USC is absolute misery. Freaking Kansas damn near humiliated Oklahoma!
Guys, winning games in college football is hard. Everyone is trying to do it, but they keep playing each other and somebody has to lose.
With a healthy Sean Clifford, Penn State is 7-0 and No. 2 in the nation.
We still have big, meaningful games against OSU, UM & MSU.
I get the complaints about our running game. My feeling is we just don't have a stud at RB (Noah Cain is playing through pain just like Sean Clifford). Look at Phil Trautwein's track record for developing unstoppable running games at BC where his entire starting 5 was named to the all-ACC team, and look at the numbers Chuba Hubbard put up at Okie State under Mike Yurcich.
Take a step back and think about the big picture and what we're working with, here. Only one school can say they have the best combination of game-day atmosphere + academics + history + culture + proximity to major metro markets... guys, who is that? It's us! It's actually us. There is no place like Happy Valley. Every school on the planet wants Penn State's game-day atmosphere, and the small handful that are close don't have our beautiful campus, they don't have our academics, they don't have a coaching staff that is totally dedicated to the well-being of their student athletes, etc. This incoming recruiting class sees that vision and they want the world to see what they see about Penn State.
I've seen a lot of good recruiting classes underperform at different programs, but this recruiting class for Penn State is going to transform everything. You can see that they are humble, hungry, charismatic and extremely ambitious. This is not like when Iowa started signing a bunch of punk-ass 4-star recruits -- these are good, quality, Penn State-caliber kind of kids.
Look, the loss today stung. We play to win the games. But at the end of the day Penn State is a world-class institution with the planet's biggest Alumni Association (which launched my career, personally, and continues to open the biggest ddoors.
We may lose next week at Ohio State. But I think it is essential to recognize the slow transfer of power that is underway with Urban Meyer out of Columbus. Michigan is undefeated, yes, but I think we all recognize their upside is capped by Jim Harbaugh. We are finally recruiting at Penn State standards and the future is bright. Just let it happen no matter the outcome next week and always remember that no matter what, We Are... 😎
