If you want to look at strategy (vs tactics)—Penn State is running state-of-the-art 2005 offense and defense. Ole Miss is state-of-the-art 2020’s offense, and probably a bit more modern than Penn State at defense.
Penn State is getting ripped (in a bad way). Ole Miss had more yards by halftime than PSU is used to giving up in a game.
Maybe it doesn’t last, but for now it looks like Ole Miss is going to pad out a lead.
Ole Miss ran a two point conversion, rolling their QB Dart right. Penn State’s entire defense rolled to that side of the field. Ole Miss’s TE pretended to roll to that side, then walked to the left. Dart threw a weak pass across his body for an uncontested but easy score. Penn State’s defensive scheme isn’t ready for Kiffin’s playbook.
Some of the B1G schools need to modernize
Ironic because Penn State popularized the RPO movement with Joe Moorhead as their OC.
