What happened to defense?

I agree that some of these offenses have gotten so much better that you have to reevaluate what's good defense in some cases, for example I thought Alabama played good defense against Florida but gave up 31 points, but not like 56 like everybody else had been doing, they're almost impossible to completely contain.

But some of these bowl games, its just shit.

Paterno signed a three year extension just now apparently.

If he coached in the SEC ( a REAL conference) he would have been fired/kindly pushed out the door long ago

...I'll edit that last post. If he was coaching Penn State in the SEC he would have been fired years ago simply because they don't get the athletes to compete with the SEC......of course if some of these bowl games were in the bitter cold weather of the northeast then I am sure some of that speed would not be as big of a factor sooooo I guess he's a great coach for Penn State but we can't really say what would happen if he moved to another school.

You mean like how they won The Outback Bowl in Tampa against the warm weather Tennessee Volunteers
Or the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio where they beat the warm weather Texas A&M
Or do you mean the Orange Bowl where they beat the Florida State Seminoles
Because last I checked,thats what they did in the last three years
As far as not being able to "get the talent" that is of course why Penn State is one of only 11 colleges with 5 or more Pro Football HOF members

SC strikes 1st...

[OumaFan]

Penn State moving though, this could be decent.

US football is too complicated. It's always on Sky over here, I just don't have a fucking clue how it goes, so I don't bother my ass watching.

Don't matter...I stick to the best league in the world....EPL

[kingfrnk]

penn state is gonna win

[CutMeMick]

Penn at one point was looking unstopable there...
Everything they ran and threw was going their way.

SC needs to tighten it up on the D side.

[OumaFan]

rout could be on

How lucky is it that USC always gets to play a 1-AA, excuse me, Big 10 team in their bowl

[El Kabong]

Hey Trainer, I don't mean to gloat but I told you so

[CutMeMick]

It's a clinic...

[El Kabong]

The score was closer than the actual game

[OumaFan]

Penn State almost made it interesting there at the end.

This Orange Bowl

Who knows it might end up being a decent game.

Hey Trainer, I don't mean to gloat but I told you so

A two score victory that was one bad pass away from being tighter then a ten year old Olsen twin isnt much to gloat about
