Rutgers gotten beaten badly at the line.
We have no pass rush and now we can't even stop the run.
We are not making any bowl this year.

No sh!t Sherlock about the bowl game. Every team that remains on our schedule, except for Kansas and Army, are better than PSU.
 
the sobering thought is that PSU has a terrible OL.

Kansas and Army won't be gimmes.

No holding calls the whole game.. played into PSU's hands. Slightly better than last week where the refs only saw Rutgers penalties.. but still.. they were allowed and awful lot of grabbing outside the numbers. We need some coaches who will see how the game is being called and tell the OL to act accordingly. I do not know if our guys would be given the same latitude.. but would have liked to see them try.
 
Hard to hold anyone when you're getting swatted aside like flies. Or missing blocks entirely.
 
We were blown so far off the line of scrimmage they didn't need to hold, Joseph never invaded PSU territory.
Complaining of holding by PSU might be the biggest reach I've ever heard as an excuse to be destroyed by an O line
 
There are MANY things we could have at least TRIED schematically to slow down the rush. How about moving the launch point once in a while? How about a waggle or bootleg? Early screens? Draws? Quick game between the hashes? Slant/flat combo against cover-3?

What did we do? Run, run, 5 or 7 step drop on third and long.

So stupid it's maddening.

Both Temple and Buffalo did a real nice job on delayed draws vs PSU. I guess our coaches some how missed that in viewing the tape.
 
our lines have been getting worse ever since Schiano's departure. it will only get worse. this is what happens when you don't win recruiting battles.

It's also what happens when below average OL coaches fail to develop players. This team hasn't had a decent OL since 2008.
