Special Teams Coach: Located And Free

Well, this wasn't difficult. God bless the internets.

Lost in yesterday's crapfest -- Navorro Bowman has likely played his last game at Beaver Stadium. As for injuries, Brandon Beachum sustained what appeared to be a very serious knee injury on the second half kickoff. A.J. Wallace left the game with a concussion, and Chaz Powell left the game with what was preliminarily described as a sprain of his AC shoulder joint.

Despite Penn State's lazy performance, they're likely to nudge even closer to the magical top 14 of the BCS standings. Penn State started the day ranked #18 in the rankings, but #9 USC, #10 Iowa, #14 Miami, #15 Houston, #16 Utah, and #17 Arizona all lost.

So, these "moves"

would work on a field like, say, Purdue? How about those who use a form of grass or grass-like-plastic for playing football?

PSU #12 in coaches poll

Iowa down at #15, which is a joke.

You know if you lose late in the season you are screwed.

Why the big10 will help out PSU this year.

I expected that

Then again, I also think Iowa should still be ahead of Ohio State…

sigh

Iowa has lost two games in a row, with one of them being at home vs Northwestern

Yes, it sucks for them that they lost their QB, but add the two losses in with how they have squeaked by in a lot of games this year, I think #15 is more than reasonable for them.

I'd agree with that

without all the injuries, maybe we wouldn’t have lost those games. But we did. Middle of the road with the other 2 loss teams is fair

It never gets to be easy

It will be very close if both teams win who would be chosen for BCS rep

I thought that before Iowa-OSU gm that PSU would be chosen, but I’m not sure I see that now. I think PSU likely will need the Hawkeyes to lose, which is fair, considering the head to head matchup.

Although I will say that head to head is not necessarily the only factor involved, you have to look at the whole season. Otherwise NC State should be ranked ahead of Pitt.

not that it is a guarantee that the B10 will get two teams

but it does look likely

Bradley on Bowman

I liked this. It’s still Seip paraphrasing Scrap, but….:

After the game, Bradley looked around the interview room and noted the collective reporters and coaches in the building don’t make the combined total of what Maybin will pull down. Nobody should stand in front of a 20-something athlete being able to reach that type of payday. He looked at it this way, if IBM approached a Penn State junior with an offer to preside over its company, why should the student stay in State College?
