Read somewhere yesterday that the 5 starting O-Line players for PSU played every snap of that game - zero substitution.  Unsure if that is accurate considering all the fake news out there - but if true, having tired linemen trying to block fresh players on that 4th and 5 could explain how poorly it was executed.

Other tidbit, read that C.J. Thorpe has been moved to the Defensive Line - said he was in for a few snaps Saturday at new position.  Unsure if he can break into starting lineup, but having someone of that size and strength in the middle has to be a good thing.  Interested in hearing if Murray knows more about this.

I don't think I've ever heard of an OLine getting tired, just a DLine.

Most teams play with the same starters in there full time, we've done so in other seasons as well. I doubt that was the issue. Our standard run game sucked all night, it didn't just happen in the 4th.

Usually it’s the defensive line that get tired BOB not the OL. I would hope that our OL would play ever snap but that just my opinion lol
