Ohio State 24 PENN STATE 7

Well that was the opposite of good, wasn't it?

I'm saying the player of the game is Ohio State's DE Cameron Heyward. Ironhead's son had a spectacular day, creating lots of havoc in the Penn State backfield. That is what I'd expect from the son of someone best remembered for holding a "thingie" in a soap commercial. Sadly, said commercial is not on youtube. RIP Ironhead.
QB Daryll Clark didn't play badly for the most part, but he didn't play well either.
Said aloud the following name: Derek Moye. Okay, that's the first time that wideout's name was called today.
Sadly, OLB Sean Lee got pancaked a couple of times. It appears that injuries kept us from seeing him reach his potential. He could have been better than Dan Connor had he been healthy.
OLB Navarro Bowman missing QBTerrelle Pryor on OSU's first touchdown is another example of why I think he should stick around one more season at Penn State. He's not all the way there yet.
Speaking of Pryor, he made a lot of people eat their words today. That stupid t-shirt didn't help matters, let that be a lesson Penn State Marketing Association.
Back to linebackers, Josh Hull made several special teams tackles.
Speaking of special teams, they still stink. P Jeremy Boone out punted the coverage reguarly, an indictment on the coverage I suppose, but Boone needs more air under his punts too. He did make a great open field tackle though.
Graham Zug had a big first half. He's faster than people think.
Why would you pitch the ball outside to Evan Royster on 3 and 1? If that's going to be the call, use Stephfron Green.
Penn State needs to figure out its offensive line issues soon. Do they need more bulk? Or just more experience. They probably need both.
Andrew Quarless did not have a good game. I think he had more penalties than catches.
Dave Witovet and his officiating crew seemed to be in Penn State's corner this evening.
The crowd was barely a factor. That might be giving it too much credit.
Two good things about the telecast -- no ED or prostrate ads for a change.
This is Beano's fault!

I thought the officiating was awful on both sides. That called the play with Zug a fumble in the 2nd quarter even though anybody with one eye could have seen Zug was clearly down. I also thought they missed numerous holding calls. That said, the officials are not why PSU lost. Special teams, poor line play and the Beano curse!

Oh, I didn't make it to the game yesterday as I've been pretty sick, so I still have your mayor's bet winnings.
