Penn State Football Fans Due for A Sad Awakening

Well the pre-season poop sheets on college football are starting to hit the market.

The best of em all, Phil Steele has Penn State at #5. Athlon, #7.

I admit you have to respect Phil Steele. But, he has me wondering if he is sniffing glue. Penn State at #5? Didn't anyone learn anything back in 2003-2004?

I know we have the cupcake schedule that insures 6 easy wins. But the other 6? It will be a miracle if we win 4 of those.

I wonder where Phil thinks we are going to get points? We don't have a single wide receiver that will rank in the top 100 of college football. Not a single receiver that is going to be able to get separation.

The other thing we know from experience is, Daryll Clark won't be threading the needle when those receivers fail to separate. He is going to look like a bobble head doll back there when we get to the real season. Daryll is going to have to run for his life against the big boys. This does not bode well for his physical wealth.

Daryll and company complete 224 passes last season. 132 of those receptions graduated (Butler, William, Norwood). 58.9 percent.

Can you tell me the name of the player who was next in line with receptions? Try Evan Royster with 17.

Brett Brackett 13 games, 13 receptions. Graham Zug 13 games, 11 receptions. Give me a break. We would be better served to move Quarless to wide out.

What usually happens when Penn State has to replace a veteran offensive line? 8 in the box, that is what happens. It is going to be a long season for Royster and Green.

Its going to a long pitiful season on offense for the entire offense.

Does anyone really believe this years defensive will be comparable with last year's veteran group? They certainly won't play like the 2004 group that kept us in every game.

I am a Penn State fanatic fan. As a result, I'll predict 9 wins. For that to happen we will need to win this year's 6-4 slug fest.

Time to start using this popular Penn State phrase -- we should be really good -- next year.
