For what it's worth,the game with Tennessee is the first game all season long, Penn State had gone without a turnover.:banghead2:

...the proverbial "cherry on top"...thanks.

Teams tend not to turn it over with absolutely no defensive pressure on them

yep.

PSU played 180 degrees of where i thought they would, offensively anyway.

Morelli had the best game of his career, and they weren't careless with the ball. two things i did not forsee happening, especially with the propensity they had shown for making stupid decisions with the ball throughout the season.

In fact, we looked more like PSU did than PSU did.

Going into this game, I thought that it was going to be close. The PSU defense is a great equalizer when it comes to making up for our lack of offense and boneheaded coaching decisions which make Randy Sanders look like Lombardi.

i had no misconceptions about the defense PSU has. they are good, i knew going in to the game that we had to take care of the football. if we did that, we'd win.

I did not however think that morelli would look like dan marino and we wouldn't get ANY turnovers. I knew we'd struggle stopping the run. the passing game of the lions is what i though would do them in and we had an advantage in the kicking game.

turning the ball over 3 times though negates all that and put the game in your defense's hands, which is, if i were a psu fan, what i would have wanted.

No question about it, that was the key to the game. However, after having endured the offensive schemes of PSU this year, I was concerned that it was going to rear its ugly head. I can't tell you how many games they ignored Tony Hunt, took the ball out of his hands, let Morelli scramble (a. la. Michael Robinson), put too much emphasis on the pass, not put enough emphasis on the pass....the list goes on and on. It's like they scout the team before-hand and throw the opposite offense that is needed for the game.
