Interesting take here...we all focused on the issues Penn State's offense had because of the lack of spring practice and the wacky start-stop-start nature of fall camp, but the defense seemed to be just as disjointed and "not on the same page." Doesn't make a ton of sense considering the returning starters we had last year -- all of which had been in Pry's system before. And other than the Rutgers game, the issues never went away. Michigan State crushed us in the first half and Illinois had three touchdowns in the first quarter. Hard to explain why this never got fixed...because the offense seemed to turn the corner mid-season.

I believe the loss to Indiana and the way they lost the game just took it out of ‘em. The win st Michigan give ‘em new light and they finished strong.

I wholeheartedly agree. The 2020 season doesn't count for any team in the nation.  Chalk it up as a  season of nothing more than scrimmages.

Interesting to watch games in slow motion and see how plays actually develop.  This guy nails it down to a T.  I'm sure they will have the Michigan win in the back of their heads when they run out of the tunnel when they face Wisconsin.

@forum-titan. I see it as a 4-5 season and Alabama winning the NC because that’s what happened. We’ll be back on track this year I think we have a great chance to win the big 10 and get into the playoffs. We did beat Michigan and that’s always a good thing 😁

I am a huge Alabama fan, but can't consider last year anything worth a damn. Too many missed players, missed games, and cancelations to matter.

If you play a game and keep score, the results count!

If the games weren't played, there are no results to count.  Polish logic!

@roaminglion. I’m glad the Michigan win counted we are still way behind lol. 10-14 record but considering we lost 9 straight that ain’t to bad. 6-4 last 10 games

Some games were played, others were not. Sorry, but when some schools are playing full seasons and others only 6 games it's not a level playing field.

I don't consider last year to be relevant, unless you think an NBA team playing 42 games and getting into the playoffs would be legitimate if everyone else played 82 games.

I said it at the beginning of last year, wasn't taking it seriously... Alabama was a great team, but it wasn't exactly a normal year.

Agreed Roam,  last year was far from normal.  All I'm saying is' in my humble opinion (for what it's worth), a win is still a win & a loss is still a loss AND "Bama is still National Champs!

I guess that's fair, they still are National Champs but I guess I just mean to me, personally, I didn't put as much stock in last year.

Can't wait to see the lions this year.
