Greaseball said in an interview he learned his defense while at Virginia. I forget the Corch that he credited with being his defensive mentor, but it wasn't Groh or Slambuttsky. It was some grey beard at UVA.Penn State usually had solid defenses under Paterno. I can't imagine they ran this crap. Golden may not have picked it up until he was working for Al Groh. Remember, he was a tight end in college.Remember everyone: these are Penn state people. Penn state didn't change a single thing in like 80 years. The Penn State guys running our program aren't changing anything about anything. We need new people in here to change anything.
I'm blaming Penn State for the stubbornness, not for the scheme/defense. The scheme was probably picked up by Groh.
At the end of the day it nevertheless falls on them. We know the scheme is ****ed up but even if it was not the scheme it is their job to teach our players how to run the scheme and execute in it. If they cannot do that with Juniors and Seniors they recruited and have coached on this team then that once again is poor coaching.
So which is it is what I would ask them. Either it is a bad scheme or bad coaching up of the players.
I know. This was an issue under the previous regime as well. They look like the keystone cops out there trying to execute a safety blitz. Our DBs run directly into the LOS and never get to the QB and it is never disguised.I've never seen a D1 team that cannot execute a simple safety or corner blitz. Absolutely horrible to watch cuz you know their not going to get to the QB.

He is right it isn't No D... IT'S HIS FREAKING SCHEME!!! Anyone here the announcers on Saturday basically laughing at how out of position the Safeties were? They were pushing downfield but filling hte WRONG GAPS!!!
I am willing to watch, at this point, UM, give up intermediate and long passes to change to a more attacking form, just to see it.. Come to think of it, has golden/dono ever given up long passes while here, I actually don't think I can think of one... We are giving up easier plays to shut down ones with a higher degree of difficulty, I want to see it flipped, and see us get beat like that, I will go home satisfied
