    In 1996, 1997 and 2009,  we lost to Penn St., and bounced back the next week to beat Iowa.   In 2005, we suffered a brain-numbing loss to Penn St at home, and later in the season came back to beat Iowa.
    I may be drinking the Purple Kool-aid; I still think we can play 4, not 3 quarters of good football, and close people out.  The risk of yesterday is that blowing 2nd half leads vs. "name" teams will start to get between their ears.
   Ebert quietly had another great game.  At the expense of Fields and Brown among others, I'd like the ball to go to Jones, Mark and Laurence.  Everyone has an opinion; that's mine; I think these young dudes are under-utilized.
