In response to palestra38
There's a bit of a spit-and-glue quality to this team-- kind of a jerry-rigged thing (are we still allowed to say 'jerry-rigged?' If not, I apologize and will immediately check myself into some sort of program.) Donahue doesn't have a huge amount of talent, with only two players who I think any other coach in the league would love to have. The rest are a bunch of role players. The fact that Penn is 7-1 at this point is a HUGE testament to the coach's resourcefulness. I can't tell you how impressed I am with the way Donahue is going to war with the army he has. But the downside to that is when you hit a bit of adversity (at least one player significantly under the weather this past weekend), things can deteriorate quickly. That said, I remain optimistic, both for the remainder of this season as well as the longer term. My big hope is that the staff can leverage this season's success into a couple of big recruiting wins.
