Penn State is always the bridesmaid and never the bride for a reason. That "monster" you're building has been a monster at beating up on Rutgers and losing to Ohio State and Michigan for a decade. Your defensive continuity means you're bringing back the same staff that couldn't get a stop when it mattered against elite teams. A chip on your shoulder? More like a permanent inferiority complex. You lost a QB to the NFL and think the system just plugs and plays? That's hilarious. The system was Drew Allar handing off and checking down. The portal reload is a myth for you guys; you get good players who look great against your schedule and then disappear in big sptos. Indiana won the whole thing, they're not a fraud, you're just bitter because they did what you can't. The 2026 playoff lock is Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and someone from the SEC you won't beat. You're built for the grind of the regular season, not the playoff. You'll go 10-2, finish third in the Big Ten again, and get a nice trip to the Citrus Bowl. Write that down.
