Bye Week.....

[Rooster]

Our "slump" started after a bye week and we struggled at Minnesota. We came back losing the edge we had early in the season. and before the break.
I expect PSU will have the same experience.......if our early season "swarming" defense shows up they
will be in for a long day. I would expect us to play better defense than we have the past couple of weeks.

It's a double edged sword. Sometimes you lose intensity. Other times you heal your injuries and are able to make adjustments.
