VIDEO -- PSU OFFENSE vs. ILLINOIS
I figured this would be a Dotson lovefest, and most of his big plays are in there...but really they spend a bunch of the video on how Ciarrocca is re-incorporating the tight end(s) back into the offense after the Freiermuth injury. Small sample size, I know, but I don't see a huge drop-off in athleticism and potential between Pat and the two freshmen. Obviously, there's a huge difference in productivity...because Strange and Johnson simply haven't played that much yet. Maybe it's just his frame, but I feel Johnson can be flexed out/split more next season and create the same matchup issues Freiermuth and Gesicki did in their careers. That seam he caught from Levis reminded me so much of Pat's 4th Quarter catch vs. OSU to start the final drive where he got hit hard but held on.
Also, any reason to explain why our red zone offense is suddenly fixed? Is it just lesser competition? They talk about using tempo in the video...but there's got to me more to it than that. Maybe the inclusion of Levis?
#86 is a beast and I didn’t see a drop off at all that dude can play. As for the offense it’s all about taking care of the ball something Clifford struggled with most of the year. Clifford reminds me of Matt Ryan, he’s good if the game ain’t on his back and he has a good running game. It might just be me but from what I seen the stronger and better Lee got the better Clifford got and that’s a great sign because Lee can play and this kid is only going to get better. I’m sure James Franklin sees this as well because he’s not panicking as bad as most of us is about Clifford James Franklin knows the running game will be back strong next year and that only makes Clifford better. We lost brown before the season started and lost Cain after the first set of downs where we run the ball down Indiana’s throat and scored easy. Competition was all the same except Ohio st because Indiana, Nebraska and Maryland are all garbage on defense. Just one of those years where things didn’t go our way it happens. Let’s give the OC and OL coaches some love because the more they got comfortable with the players the better we got I think James Franklin got the right guys. I honestly don’t know what to think about Brent Pry but one thing I do know we needs some DE’s that can get after the QB hopefully we can pick up 1 or 2 in the portal. I might be starting to like this portal because you can get some help right away if you need it. You gotta change with the times baby because if you don’t you’ll probably stay upset most of the time lol. I’m trying my best to look at the positive side of electric battery cars and they’ve got to be some because there’s a lot of ‘em out there 😁
This is good stuff NW, thanks for sharing. This team reminds me of the '67 team. Dont know why, just does. A lot of young boys getting their feet wet this year and getting ready to roar next year. I'm looking forward to next year. Im hoping Clifford relaxes next year and plays up to the expectations we had when we recruited him. 2021 could be a replay of '68!!

I know you're right Southern, but I won't change. I was born upset (breech baby), lol. As for Pry, the OC and other coaches, I'm not going to fire anybody - it's Christmas. As far as the New Year, we'll have to wait and see!

The more electric cars on the road, the more coal is being burned - helps us NE states. Most of the lefties don't realize more coal is needed with more electric cars - they just think that electricity comes out of the wall by magic. I on the other hand, will stick with my big block v8 TYVM

Or it comes from hydroelectric, solar, wind, etc. Coal is being reduced as a power source, not expanded.
My wife's electric car uses exactly ZERO coal, as we have solar on our house and signed up for our power company's green initiative.
Coal power generation dropped by 30% last year as electric vehicle ownership went up. Sorry bud, coal isn't needed for EVs
Sorry Roam, but your stats are incorrect - but it's cool, I realize 2 different sets of facts are being distributed depending on which news site you read. Coal imports are down, way down, but US production is up and will continue to go up since the renewable forms of energy can not create the amount of energy needed if a large portion of the population would switch to electric vehicles. Gonna need more of everything - Nuke, Hydro, you name it. Cali needs to do something soon, people will not tolerate repeated blackout's because they generate less power than needed.

LMAO @ Cali and their renewable resources! Don't worry about them Bob, worry about Utah and Idaho as they are being invaded by people fleeing the Golden State. Also worry about Vermont which is being invaded by people fleeing NYC and Boston.

@bobs-dimpled-chin. I was going to buy my wife a Lincoln Navigator but I’m having second thoughts now because Trump went down I’d hate to buy a car that’s gas knowing that AOC and company want to get rid of gas. ole southern just don’t know what to do so I’m going to wait. My wife’s Ford Fusion only has 40k on it anyway. I’m all for electric cars and want people to drive what they want I just wish they’d leave the gas ones alone but that ain’t going to happen. Now if they have a car buy back plan I’d go ahead and buy it lol
@roaminglion coal power generation drop largely because of the availability of low priced natural gas and increased output from those plants. I believe the drop was 16% according to the US Energy Information Administration.

@navylion. Brother I’m all for coal, natural gas, gas and solar why limit yourself when you can have it all?

You are correct Navylion, I have no idea what Bob is looking at but coal power is WAY down as has been decreasing since 2008.
Coal production may be up, but it aint because more is being burned here. Much of that goes to China and other places.
As you said Navy, gas is way up... Still not what we use here at my house, as I said we have solar and get paid from the extra energy we produce. In the event we need extra juice, ours comes from renewable sources.

@roaminglion. This stuff is over my head Roam, but can the common regular man out there afford what you guys use out there on the west coast because out here we hear the Expence of the west coast plus like remoh said about all the power outages? I know it’s the way of the future I just don’t know how far down the road it is that’s why I’m struggling to buy a car unless I have to buy one? It would suck to buy a car and then have no gas to put in it lol
@roaminglion As I have said before, one of the things I love about this board is some of the conversations/debates make me curious and I actually research and learn some stuff. I have been contemplating about going solar but just not sure if the ROI is worth the cost to set it up. How long before you pay off your investment in electricity production. Although, solar would be great here during hurricane season to overcome the power outages.
@navylion I was about ready to go solar, put the panels up on my barn roof, but they couldn't give me a good set of numbers. The company the got the "OK" from NYS to install systems in this area, tried to tell my the ROI was 7 yrs. By which time I'd probably need a new inverter/converter, whichever it was. That sounded reasonable, so I started the paperwork process, at which time the company came back with, "Oh, we'll need to upgrade the wiring coming from your barn to the house and put in different poles, blah, blah, blah". I said OK, give me an updated cost analysis and ROI. They sent me back the exact numbers as they had giving me the 1st time. Red flag in my book, so I stopped the process. The company did a follow up call, asking why I stopped. I told them I was still waiting for the new numbers as they had only resent me the original cost and ROI. The company rep assured me I'd have that info within a week....that was 7 years ago and I'm still waiting. Guess they were right about the 7 yr ROI!
My November electric bill was less than $40. (farm rate) Thinking their ROI was just the standard that they try to sell people with.
Re: the power outages, I think you'd need a rather large storage cell of some type on your property to make that work.
@been-there-ii: damn near the same thing up here. Did the leg- work and was told my ROI would be eight years. Also was told I needed to clear about a half acre in order to have the correct exposure. That wasn't gonna happen.

Remoh, you come one here spewing crap about your "sources" telling you Murrell was a PSU lock and you have the audacity to call Roam the forum no-it-all??

Unless you are getting some great subsidies, the ROI isn't that great. The technology has come a long way, but it is still too expensive to be a viable alternative without the aformentioned subsidies. Without them, the ROI on ours would have been 20+ years... though part of that is because we live in Oregon, so because of the cloud cover the panels aren't as effective as they would be in say, Arizona. Still work great though.
We bought when the we could get rebates/subsidies through federal, state, and local initiatives as well as the power company. Put them all together and it went to us paying about 30% of the cost. ROI is about 7 years on what we put up, which is fine for us.
Hopefully the cost comes down to a point where most can afford them, I think it's like cell phones... they came down in price so much now everyone has them
Tsuga, we all saw his incoherent meltdown in another thread, and his claims about "sources"...
@roaminglion It's coming Roam, we're just not there yet. Between the Feds and State, I could have gotten in for 70% rebate, but still couldn't make it work. Now, if they could come up with a solar car, I might give up my infernal, internal combustion powered rig.
Or better yet, as Tim Wilson sings "Where the F#ck is My Jet Pack"?!? Pretty sure when I was at the NY World's Fair, we were promised flying cars by now.
@been-there-ii. You get John boy and billy up there BT? Chucky cheese hell is my favorite song lol
@roaminglion: Heck Roam, that was just a mini-meltdown. We all know the big one has yet to hit.
