I was also surprised by the short kicks. I thought we had the issue solved.
Ability-wise, yes. Health-wise I don’t know. He is going to get hurt behind that line as it currently exists.
I kept an eye on the stats on the scoreboard. The only significant difference through the first three quarters was turnovers. Otherwise the two teams performed virtually the same. Turnovers alone provided the PSU victory.
Really hoping Bailey isn't going to become Mikey Dudek 2....great player with injury jinx.
We played closer than score shows

Did you watch the game? You do know that Penn State starters on offense and defense didn’t play the entire 4th quarter. You do realize that if they had played the 4th quarter the score would have been worse. Please stop
So, you're saying that the reason that we were good last year is because we had an experienced, senior, Big Ten caliber QB and an NFL running back?
Now, with a QB that has started three college games with no proven RB....we're not as good?
That's a stunner.
Obviously, I'm being sarcastic, but your take here isn't good.
The great PSU only had 67 rushing yards at the end of the 3rd Qtr... Sooooooo the PSU scrubs played better than the starters ?

and Randolph not listedNo offensive linemen listed.☹
We all know the favorite QB of Illinois and Bears fans is QB2.
Keith was a game time decision to even play this week ... Probably should not have played but I saw him battling ... I was pleased with him knowing that kid had to be hurting but wanted to gut it out for his teammates ...
Curious who you think we could get to replace him that would be a massive upgrade ?

Good news- he is from Chicagoland with Wisconsin ties
Bad news- Competing with Colorado with the influx of Deion cash from booste cash, big Big XII money, new ticket sales, etc.
Andy Ludwig?

One side question: how much of the current offense is "pure Lunney" and how of it is Bielema influenced either indirectly (based on current personnel and recruits most available for the staff like instate guys) or directly (eg must have power running game)?
If only PSU started the game with 3rd and 4th stringers....
Can we say we made progress on stupid penalties when the game was actually in question? I'm looking for silver linings. lol

Lots being discussed here. My take: Our offensive line is our weak point. This is our biggest issue. The defense played well enough to beat the inflated 7th ranked Pedos.
Luke’s 4 picks cost us the game but that is very unlikely to ever happen again.
So let’s rip off a bunch of wins against the Big Ten Less.

I'd also like clarity on what Lunney's O identity truly is meant to be. What are we/he trying to hang our hat on being really good at?
This is our entire problem IMO … I don’t think we’ve got one …
