Pennlive grades the team
here's a quote: "How is this for conservative: PSU ran ball on first play of first six possessions (3 yards total). Noticed 'D' not in nickel on 18-yard Michigan completion on 3rd-and-10 late in 1st Qtr. Thought pass defense was extremely soft, allowed Wolverine WRs too much room underneath./pOVERALL: C./pFew things are more certain in the college football world than this: Penn State cannot deal with a road game against a solid Big Ten road game. The offensive approach is too obvious and even the Nittany Lions' best defenses wear down by the time the fourth quarter rolls around. Of course, everything starts at the top. Head coach Joe Paterno is too stubborn to change his outdated philosophy. Michigan beat PSU 14-9 over the weekend for its ninth straight win in the series. The difference between the two programs is simple. One side is unafraid to do whatever it takes to pull out a close game. And the other side has forgotten how to win./p"
