Watched most, but not all of the game. Here are some thoughts:
.....PSU's defense is great. Stop the run, pressure the QB with great athletes.
.....Offense is mediocre, but they got physical with the run game, especially second half.
Hamler tremendous in slot, REALLY makes people miss.
.....Scored 17 pts against Pitt and Iowa, and that's enough to win. Says much for def.
.....Iowa offense same old, same old. Def is decent, keeps them in games.
.....Iowa's fumble in PSU's redzone a killer, gave up easy score in a def. game.
.....Clifford had some big runs late, important in killing clock.
.....Iowa had back open for 2-pt conversion, Stanley went to covered tight end instead.
.....Don't know how Shaka Toney's targeting was reversed. Announcers thought it was automatic.(Looked much more obvious than Paris Ford's). Lucky for them he is playing against Mich.
.....JF got his 1st road win vs ranked team. Iowa may not be ranked now, especially with that off.
.....PSU aside, OSU and Wisky great teams, Mich overrated, Minn decent. Rest of B1G avg to poor. PSU could easily go 11-1. Pitt had their chance against them, couldn't finish.
.....Other than a few elite teams, much parity in CFB. Pitt can make a statement for rest of year. H2P.
