Midweek Musings – Let’s Have Some Enjoyable With It

This weekend, Penn State takes on the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes. In an alternate universe, Penn State is a prime 5 or prime 10 group, and this can be a excessive stakes sport with a visit to Indianapolis (and the Playoffs) on the road.

Instead, Penn State is below .500 on the yr, has fired its head coach, and has misplaced its beginning QB for the yr.

Look, everyone knows it’s going to be tough on Saturday. While the group remains to be proficient, they’ve come up quick in 4 straight video games (all by one rating!), and I simply don’t actually see a viable path towards a victory.

In truth, I see a number of viable paths for a full on bloodletting, with OSU doing their finest to run up the rating.

So, with that in thoughts (and by no means thoughts the #2 Indiana Hoosiers on the schedule the next week), I counsel we simply have some enjoyable with it.

I’m all in on Kaytron Allen getting the highest spot on Penn State’s all time main rushers record. Let’s feed him and rejoice as he will get nearer and nearer to the highest rung.

Let’s get pleasure from Ethan Grunkemyer getting increasingly snaps as QB1 – he could or will not be on the roster subsequent yr, however we are able to at the least get pleasure from what could have been in 2026 had Franklin been round.

Let’s see how a lot havoc the younger DEs may cause, notably the Chazmanian Devil. Dani Dennis-Sutton will probably be gone subsequent yr, so how a lot stress can the younger linemen create?

How in regards to the LBs? Is there good depth that may contribute as soon as Amare Campbell and Dom DeLuca are gone?

This group has a tricky path forward of it, and I foresee at the least 2 extra losses this yr on the horizon. Bowl sport or not, we are able to nonetheless have some enjoyable on a play-by-play, drive-by-drive, player-by-player foundation.

Alternatively, we might all simply be offended about all the things for the remainder of the season?
