Just above Alabama, Wisconsin, and Michigan State. Saquon is going to have more trouble finding room to run in this game. I hope they get creative.
Washington has the #1 Rush Defense

Well it's a good thing we're used to winning with the passing game then.
Moorhead must be laughing his ass off (with the best students in the country).
PSU is toast against the Washington D! You heard it here first. Rahne and Limegrover are horrible!

Atta boy. You're ready for the game.
Do you have visions of him in a Pats' uni looking like Vince Wilfork in his prime?
Great opportunity for Bates, Fries, McGovern and Gonzo and Menet to set the tone for next year. Control the LOS against UW and it can be a spring board into the off season. By the way, Bryce Love did okay against these guys and in general the PAC-12 plays touch football so I would not pay too much attention to UWs rush defense stats. Aside from Stanford does any team in the Pac 12 commit to running the ball?
Be curious to see how the run philosophy changes, especially with Limegrover now in charge of the running game. Have a feeling he and Moorhead had some philosophical differences with respect to the running game.
The Washington fanbase seems very excited about a whole month to make pedophile jokes. Hope we boat race them.
Glad I'm not the only one who is giving up on the offense before the game starts.
They have never done anything correct all year. They don't burn shirts when they are supposed to, they don't play the right quarterback, the TE creates windshear whenever he tries to block -it's sad.
Everyone passes against them, hence the low rushing defense totals. No worries.
They are insane. Do they know we have no offense? Have they read this thread?
Not to pile on, but did ANY of those 'Bowl Predictions' we have been seeing correctly predict this? I feel I might have saved a lot of time not having read a single one.
since Rahne has been named OC we have not had a negative yardage run.......which is more than tOSU, TCU, Wisconsin, GA, and Auburn can say.
Nearly all predictions throughout the season end up incorrect. Many on this board predicted OSU losing to Oklahoma was going to doom Penn State. People predicted the ACC, SEC, Big 12 and Pac 12 would all have undefeated/1 loss champions and all was lost unless Penn State finished undefeated.
Sounds like an answer to a question on my 8th grade Latin quiz.
I was also thinking along those lines the moment I heard JoMo leaving and the staff shuffle.
Michigan had the #1 defense when we played them. Worked out pretty well for the good guys.
Yep. And even after another year where no team went undefeated and two-loss teams were in consideration up until the end, the same old “everybody else will go undefeated and PSU needs to be undefeated to even be considered” posts will be back.
You looked at their schedule before touting that #1 rush D right......Cal, Rutgers, Montana, Fresno St, Oregon State....
FWIW, vs one common opponent, Rutgers
Washington 30 Rutgers 14 (opening game)
PSU 35 Rutgers 6
Also FWIW, Washington has a running back Myles Gaskin (listed at 5'10" 191#) who had more rush yardage than Saquon
Gaskin had 1282 yards, 6.2 yard/carry, and scored 19 TDs rushing and 3 Receiving
(Saquon 1134 yards, 5.7 yards/carry, 16 TDs rushing, and 3 TDs Receiving)

Have to know a lot more before that kind of stat is meaningful. Did they face mediocre competition? Was their passing defense so bad that opposing teams just passed them silly? This late in the season, it should be a good indication of something.
