William World News William F. Yurasko's blog v.14 – Nats, Redskins, Capitals, D.C. life, transportation, not so much Penn State anymore,

After a post-scandal hiatus, I’m back. Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries sent the questions:
BSD: The Penn State offense has struggled week in and week out throughout the course of the season. The implementation of the wildcat formation by interim Head Coach Tom Bradley appeared to signal a shift in offensive philosophy from the [...]

Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries writes the questions because bloggers don’t take bye weeks…
BSD: The Nittany Lions now sit at #15 in the polls, having won 7 straight. Think back to the morning of September 3rd. What were your expectations for this team? Are they were you thought they would be [...]

This week’s questions from Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries
BSD: The “Bend-But-Don’t-Break” defense is supposed to prevent the big play and force the opposition to put together a long, mistake-free drive if it wants to score. Last week against Purdue, the Nittany Lion defense did the opposite, giving up multiple plays of 20 yards [...]

This week’s questions from Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries
BSD: How satisfying was that win against the Hawkeyes?
WFY: That was an extremely satisfying win, perhaps the most so in several seasons. From my recap:
It has been a long time since a Penn State football game was as fun as the one on Saturday. The [...]

We’re two days away from the Nittany Lions and the Hawkeyes — Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries gives us these Blue White Roundtable questions:
BSD: Are we about to see the second coming of the 6-4 spectacular?
WFY: I anticipate more scoring by both sides — that 6-4 game was something else. An amazing defensive effort [...]

Week 5 of Blue White Roundtable — Isn’t it weird that the Nittany Lions are traveling to play the Hoosiers, but not going to suburban Maryland to play the game? I was all ready to get on the Blue Line to FedEx Field.
BSD: Is it worth starting Matt McGloin this week at QB? Will [...]

Wow, we’re already 1/3 of the way done with Blue White Roundtable for the season. Football season moves faster than any other season. Black Shoe Diaries Adam Collyer’s weekly questions are below:
BSD: Penn State was 6-17 on third down against Temple on Saturday. What can the team do to fix that? Is it [...]

Another week, another series of questions from Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries…
1. The game was out of reach, but Rob Bolden played through the final whistle. Was that drive his “coming of age moment?” Do you expect that to pay some dividends this week?
Rob Bolden impressed me on the final scoring drive [...]

Once again, the questions come form Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries.
BSD: 1. Did either QB show you enough to make you confident in our offense for the year? Who’s your guy for this week?
WFY: Neither Rob Bolden or Matt McGloin inspired much confidence in me. Bolden had some bad luck with dropped balls, [...]

Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries is running Blue White Roundtable now and here are questions preceding game 1 of the 125th season of Penn State football. The Nittany Lions take on the Sycamores of Indiana State.
BSD: Let’s get this out of the way right now – how does everyone feel about Robert Bolden and [...]
