After losing KJ Hamler, PSU was expected to rely even more heavily on the run with an improved OL and an unproven WR group. I’m sure they still will with Cain and Ford but Brown’s loss has to impact them significantly, especially in the first couple of games which include OSU. If OSU was favored going into the year, taking away arguably their 2 best players in Brown and Parsons would have to reduce their chances significantly.
