Now what we DON'T want is a 4 play TD drive by the Tide.
I wouldn’t appreciate that.

McGloin is in because...
Rob “Borelliden” (Bolden + Morelli), is looking like his usual ineffective prima donna self. He’s on the field phone now crying to daddy about doing some transfer threatening again.
On the bright side, maybe this is the game that puts McGloin back on the sidelines.
Bolden clearly moved the ball.
PSU can win this game
The defense is so close to being smothering… 2 of those last 3 passes were well covered, and Bama just threaded the needle. We’re going a great job containing Richardson, and that’s huge.
I hope the offense can keep it moving.
