Eveyone is whining about the lack of good defensive backs, and it's true
that we don't have good ones. However, let's put the fault where it truly
belongs: On an inept defensive line that gets manhandled on runs and is
incapable of generating a pass rush. We can't even blitz and pressure the
quarterback. Penn State proved that even a poor passer can succeed if he's
given an hour to complete each pass. Penn State, by their admission, has a
weak offensive line, and we sacked Robinson once, only our third in four
games. Cofield was the only man who exerted any pressure, and he can't do
it alone. The other three, whoever they may have been at the time, might as
well have stayed on the bench. Put pressure on Robinson, and he folds like
cardboard.
