Coworker just told me how good PSU's run defense is. So I took a few moments and looked up what kind of rushing attacks - buckiaj [08:10:07 11/18/19] (12)
- Won't make a difference. Our staff is going to run the ball. Make take a bit to get traction, but we are (m) - WolfsBane [09:37:20 11/18/19] (0)

  - Agreed, but the reason the topic came up was talking about if the weather is bad and can't attack thru the air. Though, - buckiaj [08:15:37 11/18/19] (0)
So most games come down to matchups and the two lines... how do we match up with PedState? * - the displaced Buckeye [08:07:35 11/18/19] (6)
