do want to hit real quick before we move on to Second down number eight Penn State in West Virginia this was the season opener we had last year it was at Penn State a year ago it'll be at West Virginia on Saturday but the Drew Aller experience it feels like that's the biggest question mark what does he do in taking another step forward because if he can Penn State's a legitimate threat around the country well it'll be really interesting to watch I mean he was very efficient with the ball last year did a lot of really good things as a first year starter number one he took care of the football you know 25 touchdowns only two interceptions the problem was they did not have enough explosive plays part of that might have been him not you know not wanting to pull the trigger because sometimes you throw the ball down field a guy can't be wide open you have to maybe throw a guy open or trust your receivers to go up and make a 5050 play he didn't do that enough part of it might have been play calling conservative part of that's why they made a switch by the end of the year and in offensive coordinators now a new guy comes in from Kansas Andy Colton Nikki so we'll see what that looks like and then wide receiver I just think that you know that's been a little bit of an area of weakness for the last couple years I don't know that they really upgraded that position we'll see uh how they look but but they need more explosive plays in the past game they've got their two running backs back their offensive line should be pretty solid they're good at tight end but can they get explosive downfield plays from their quarterback and wide receiver now this game coming up I mentioned USC LSU that's probably the toughest test for a big 10 team I think this is the second toughest test because we did that game last year was 3815 it was much closer than the score indicated West Virginia played well they were able to run the football I I was very impressed with their quarterback Garrett green last year he's back you know so he's a he's a confident guy plays with a lot of swag here and I've played in Morgantown it is not an easy place to play it it's a noon kickoff that place will be rocking and uh you know the home field advantage for West Virginia so Penn State's going to have to really be on their aame uh in this ball game because West Virginia is a pretty solid team and you know they Neil Brown when we started the year last year he was on the hot seat they didn't know if he could keep his job they end up winning nine games finished really strong so they're in a really good place right now and I know they're anxious for this game against Penn State Neil Brown deserves a lot of credit uh they lose Zack Frasier who was one of the best centers in the country but they do have usually Stout offensive linemen you know that they're going to be sized up well against the Penn State so that should be a fun match up week one
