Well, I don’t want to turn this into yet another MB hate thread so I will just add this and move on. Mack never, ever, coached the team to putting the foot on the throat of opponents. I almost never felt confident a team was done because once we had the momentum or lead, it seemed to always swing. I think that stems from a truth in what MB said way too often that permeated the players, fear. VY was a force, without fear, as was Colt and their leadership propelled the rest of the team despite our HC shitting his pants on the reg.
Now back to PSU, I think there a similar problems at the HC with even worse results. Day has clearly overcome his issues and they are stacked. Texas is stacked but I firmly believe part of the issue last year was faith in the offense and particularly the QB from the rest of the team. I don't want to rehash that topic and instead will turn to this year. Arch will provide the sort of faith that VY and Colt inspired on their teams. Further, I think Arch's abilities will let Sark finally go full Sark offensively. It's going to take a minute for our OL to fully gel, but I think our D might actually be better this year which, I know, is a crazy prediction. I have a pretty crazy prediction for this year which is we beat OSU, lose to Florida, obliterate ou sux, struggle against UK then we start hitting on all cylinders and wreck everyone left on the schedule, including Georgia. It's going to be a very tough year for aggie and pig. Will it be enough to win it all... we shall see, but I do a room reservation in Miami.
Hence my take that Texas and OSU should be 1 and 2. I don't know why Klatt continues to out faith in PSU or more accurately it's head coach.
