We have Penn State at home this year. That triggered in my mind that there is the sure to be white out next year in HV. I was thinking if we have a better chance at home with an inexperienced QB but a really solid line. Or, being in an hostile environment with a more unproven OL and an experienced QB?
I assume if Stroud starts all year and does well it will be tough to supplant him next year. Even though this year will make next year’s line more experienced there might be guys that try going pro. I can see that possibility with Dawand. So possibly Stroud is better but the OLine likely not as strong.
I’m thinking going with Stroud at home. Likely, better protection, a likely decent running game to keep defenses honest, great returning receiving talent and home crowd energy.
This isn’t about just PSU but through our schedule in general.
