QB Tyler Tettleton and the offensive line will be the strength of the offense this year. He's a dual-threat QB (3,302 yards passing, 658 rushing last year). Lost two very good tackles, but offensive line was probably the deepest position last year. Florida State transfer takes over at one tackle spot. Running back was somewhat by committee with three guys, with two returning. Wide receiver is probably the biggest question mark on offense, but a couple of recruits could help fill that void.

Not much lost on defense and there was lots of depth gained last year due to all kinds of injuries, especially on the defensive line. Also brought in a few JCs on the DL so although the DL was a bit of a weakness, espeically as far as pressuring the QB, it could be very good this year. The biggest lost defensively is Keller, who was the QB of the defense, but he wasn't 100 percent most of last year either. The secondary was set to return basically everyone but Leftwich had an injury/academic issue and no longer is with the team.

C.'s on the Money here. Ohio is a MAC team FCOL. PSU would not have offered anyone on the Ohio roster.  Nevermind Phil Steele's impressions or that Coach Solich currently has scoreboard againt PSU. Would be wise to look ahead.

It is really simple.  We are fat, slow and have no talent whatsoever.  Other than the money you will pay us to come to your smackdown of us,  I have no clue as to why we would schedule such a powerhouse as PSU.  I just hope we have kids left healthy after the game so we can play the rest of the schedule.  Our kids are basically Div. III rejects who could not even walk on at places like Gannon, Frostburg State, etc.   If I am PSU I do not even bother studying us at all.  I just prepare the players for whoever PSU plays after us. 

You guys arn't this stupid......you know that you need to shut down OUr running game.......and you also need to keep it unclose......if it is close you may lose by 3......have a nice day.

We're horrible. Don't worry about us at all. Your time will be so much better spent worrying about your 2nd week opponent.


lol - I've learned to take nothing for granted. And I think some of you are pulling a Lions' leg.

We're big on grammar too...

We escaped against Temple's JV team the last couple of years if that is any indication of our talent level.

Yes, don't worry about us! 

Undervalued, Neal Huynh. Ready to step up, Kieth Moore.  Vs Miami Kieth covered for NK and managed ten tkls, 1 1/2 sks and earned MAC East Def Player of the Week. Should Kieth lose the spot it will mean there is even better to come. Last time Coach Solich saw PSU he only passed six times in an 18-10 win.  If Ohio's new OTs can step up, might be like that again.
