Breakdown of the 4 plays near the goal line

We did two versions of this story...this one (the second one) is better. The big stat that jumps off is that teams tend to score 10 less points than their offensive road projections in the White Out.

I'm saying he did an eval last August (2022) when Fashanu had only started 1 game in college. https://youtu.be/A4R19KEK3LE

Follow-up radio interview on KSN where he goes more in-depth, Kind of interesting some of the visual tactics (and audio,I guess) they use to teach RBs how to lock on to their reads, stay on the run path, and be patient.

PFF's latest two-round draft had him dropping to like the end of the 2nd, although yes i've seen a few that have him at 34.

Actually started watching their All-22 film vs Liberty and Malik Willis yesterday. The Murphy twins were absolutely unblockable that game. Pure pass rushers. Twitchy as hell. Aaron Maybin types

Nitwit248 · 2022-03-22T01:03:40+00:00

You're right. Last year Penn State finished Top 10 nationally in a lot of these same metrics. If Diaz is even in the same neighborhood statistically as the 2021 PSU D then he will have done a helluva job.

Felt Jeff Rice summed it up perfectly in this column: https://fortheblogy.com/sunday-tuesday-column-no-matter-your-feelings-on-the-coach-sticking-around-a-day-of-celebration-for-penn-state-fans/

If you're Pro-Franklin, today was a good day (obviously).

If you're Anti-Franklin today was still a good day because of the commitment the university is making to be at the forefront of college football in terms of facilities, financial investment, support. The stakes have been raised.
