   This is a great take. One thing I don’t buy though is that Alan Tisdale is not going to start. I actually think he will and I’m betting Jaden Keller will transfer. I just don’t think he’ll put it together on the field

      Back at Penn St Pry liked to rotate as many linebackers are able to play. I feel like we'll have linebacker and wide receiver rotates a bunch depending on the situations and whatnot.

   Regarding the "fatigue contributed to breakdown" thought. Perhaps. Feels like the breakdowns occurred due to poor DL or LB play, Holifield matched up against a WR, or something like that. I am sure a CB gave up a play but i don't fatigue by Delane(for example) and more so issues like not stopping the run, Holfield covering downfield on key players, etc

      A great observation. I think it was bad schemes and a poor pass rush late in games that killed us. Also didn't help the offense couldn't keep the ball longer than 30 seconds.

   I thought there was a transfer snapper from LaTech?

   Pheldarius Payne leaving wouldn’t surprise me. 6th year and 5th on depth chart.

   Why not put a little asterisk next to the player's class if they still have an extra COVID year available to them, like is being done in the articles on the basketball teams' rosters?
