I don't really see any weaknesses over there. Mike Archie, Stephen Pitts and Ambrose Fletcher make up what is probably the nation's only trio of starting tailbacks in backup roles for a single team. Throw in a virtually interchangable pair of fullbacks, a stable full of receivers waiting to bloom, a second-string quarterback with all the tools . . . The Lions have utilized the above factors so impressively by spreading the wealth and thus making the lives of opposing defenders rather hellish. Per game, Penn State averaged 250.9 yards on the ground, 269.3 yards through the air.
Opponents struggle to stop one.
They cannot stop both. I think that's what sets us apart from other people. They don't know what to stop. Sophomore wideout Freddie Scott had a specific comparison in mind to describe the Lion assault. Both teams had a potential pro-bowler at every skill position, and both were anchored by outstanding offensive lines.
