Penn State Game recap Offense

QB- Stanzi still didn't have a great game, but he wasn't missing receivers like he has in the past. He was putting the ball where his receivers should have come down with the ball. His one interception was off of his receiver's hands and then kicked into the air. He managed the game really well and towards the end of the game his clock management was great, he was constantly taking the play clock inside five seconds before snapping the ball. Overall grade B

RB- Adam Robinson and Brandon Wegher have really come on as running backs. As fans we all wondered how they would perform against better competition. They were able to find holes in the Nittany Lion defense and more importantly they were able to pick up the blitzers. I thought that as the game went on, the running backs seemed to be running harder and taking advantage of a worn down defense. One thing that both of the running backs does is the run hard and finish runs going forward. Overall grade A-

WR/TE- Over the first three weeks the receiving unit played well. However they played an average game against Penn State. There were several drops and in the big games, like this one was, you can't have those. They did do a very good job of blocking and you have to give them the benefit of the doubt when Moeaki didn't play and DJK and McNutt both played sparingly. Overall grade B

OL- This unit continues to impress me. They played against a defensive line that was supposed to be better than them. They were opening up big holes all night for the running backs and aside from a few blitzes, they really gave Stanzi time to find his receivers. In my opinion, Riley Reiff has outperformed what anyone thought that he would do. The level of his play opposed to Bulaga's is not that big of a drop. Overall grade A-
