Howard Cross

[Get Nasty]

re watched a large chunk of the game.

He’s going to have to improve his health so he can play better. Honestly, not sure I’ve seen an interior dline player for nd have such a bad game (clearly due to injury). He would never plant on his leg , he just went with the flow of where psu was driving him.

Cross was a big reason why psu bad so many cut back opportunities, they just pushed him out of the way. If that was Psu game plan due to his injury or if they saw it during the game, impressive by Psu.

Cross has to be much better. if not, you have to put someone young and inexperienced in. I get it, you want cross in there, but he almost was a big reason ND lost.

He limped around all game long.

PSU offensive line wash pushing a lot of guys around.

High ankle sprains are a bitch. Don't think the extra time is going to help much.

Mukam is a big body and would definitely be harder to move, which isn’t the worst thing considering how well the linebackers have played. Then put Cross in on obvious passing downs?

Would be huge if Mills could return.

Agree. Said in another post that Cross was playing on one leg and it showed as he was moved back multiple times, and back several yards. He literally had no ability to plant and push off his injured ankle. Add the fact that one of Cross’ major assets is his quickness, and his effectiveness is seriously compromised. Cross and Hinish are going to be giving away 30-45 lbs to Ohio St’s guards as is.

If he is not better by game time he should not play.

Yeah… Junior and oben had really rough games. They were constantly getting moved out of the play

What bothered me was how often the Penn St OL were able to get to our linebackers four yards plus deep.

Correct, they absolutely never had to sustain a double. They hit it and moved right to lbs. our backside de that was oben and junior a lot were never able to close the gap and they had cut backs all night.

Young needs to play every snap he can, and if Burnham is healthy he needs to play a lot. Both junior and oben made their plays vs the same Georgia LT… it was fools gold
