Explain why we don't play an extra guy on the LOS (a safety, nickelback) with a single high safety.

Penn State consistently threatened to bring pressure on our left side, and we really didn't run into it much at all, barring Wadleys big run.

If we did somehow earn a rematch -- wouldn't you rather try and give Barkley less room on one edge, and hopefully convince PSU to take shots downfield.

I'd prefer that matchup vs Barkley on our front 7.

Hawks tried to keep EVERYTHING, including Barkley, in front of them. It worked well, just a Hal inch and one play short

Trust me, they'll save the game film for a rematch.....
