Backup Matt Senneca did an admirable job in a very tough spot. Again, one has to wonder why PSU tailbacks got 13 combined carries. This time, they get some of the blame. Saturday, Penn State tailbacks couldn't find any room to run. Many of the seven drops, again, would have been tough grabs, but these guys couldn't catch cold in a Seattle December.
Somebody needs to make a play.
Tight end Tony Stewart's four catches look like good news, but three of them came in garbage time, when Senneca went to him repeatedly. On the other hand, seven sacks is pretty ridiculous, as is the grand total of 30 rushing yards Saturday. Eric McCoo and Larry Johnson may be bad, but it's not like there are huge holes they're just not seeing. Tackles Jimmy Kennedy and Anthony Adams are too big to get pushed around like that, especially by Toledo. If they don't improve, Michigan's line is going to bury them under the grass in the Big House.
