Ya this is where Booger has excelled picking up seasoned starters in the portal - and good ones,prolly bagmen involved  ;D
Ohio State avg 5.4 ypc. Last season. Second only to Michigan at 5.6.  Both were top ten nationally  

And they were much better than that in the first half of the year- before all the injuries.

A few revisions now that the preseason is over and game prep has begun.

Middle Linebacker (+):  Kobe King (Kalen's brother) has secured the starting position over Tyler Elsdon.  Apparently both have gotten better, but King has really looked strong. Are Carter & Jacobs all comingback?they were pretty good there.Elsdon was one of the leading tacklers last year

what? 

Jeem has barely hit the portal. You're acting like he's Deion and got 40 guys in. He has recruited and developed 99% of his roster. The guy got 1 center from the portal last year. That's it. This year is the first year he's actually hit the portal and he got: 3 OL's- only one of which is surefire starter- the other two are in all-out fall camp battles, 1 LB who won't start this year (probably will next year though), a QB who probably won't even win the backup job, an EDGE that won't start either and will be a rotational situational pass rusher, a TE who will be the #2 TE, and a CB that will probably start the season just bc he's very experienced and then wind up getting passed over by highly talented freshman that Jeem recruited in rs Frosh Amorion Walker or true frosh Jyaire Hill.

tOSU lost both starting tackles not sure about their replacements. UofM would get the nod there at least starting this season

anyone who thinks OSU doesn't have a great run game is nuts. They have 4 dudes that are legit and would start at most B1G teams not named Michigan or Penn State. Miyan Williams, Treyveon Henderson, Chip Trayanum, and Dallan Hayden. No one else has that. Michigan has 2 guys, so does Penn State. They don't have 4. Michigan might have a 3rd legit back in true frosh Ben Hall, lot of buzz on him inside from the staff and players and he flashed in spring game, but OK even if you give them that one- it's still only 3. They definitely don't have 4.

right.

The transfer LaDarius Henderson isn't a lock to start over Karsen Barnhart at LT nor is transfer Myles Hinton to start over Trente Jones at RT. Barnhart and Jones are both really good players. Wots is Barnhart has actually been beating Henderson out at LT.

Both Hinton (three varsity letters) and Nugent (four) join U-M from Stanford. Hinton has made 16 career starts at right tackle in 23 appearances and Nugent has started 24 games at center (in 27 games played). Hinton was the team's Most Outstanding Freshman in 2020. Nugent has twice earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors from the league's coaches. Both players have started for the Cardinal since the 2021 opener. And Henderson was a team captain and started 6 games before injury

Oh even if they don't start that's called DEPTH FFS . And last year Olu Oluwatimi  was 2nd team AA transfer from Virginia.he was a force at center- yes, JEEM portals very nice for the O-line. Let a couple of guys go down there then we'll discuss again. And you're acting like seasoned veterans aren't an asset.Send them south to C-Bus

This could be a problem if they don't turn it around soon.

Penn State football’s academics rank at the bottom of Big Ten after worst score in a decade - BCTV
meh. they'll likely turn it around. and it won't matter in the near future anyways, NCAA is on it's way out and on the verge of death.

I'd say in the next 10 years or less it's very likely SEC/B1G swallow up whatever valuable brands are left in the ACC/B12 (there are none in the PAC4) and leave the NCAA, expand the playoff to 16 teams and form their own governing body and that new governing body won't give a flying f##@ about academics- it'll only care about maximizing $$$$$ - as it should.
