#PennState DC Ted Roof coach. Great teacher. His defensive front 7 could be good.#B1G twitter.com/BTNTomDienhart… — Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 20, 2012
Nice set of LBs with Hodges, Mauti, Carson and Hull. Best part of defense, hands down.

Talking to Bill O'Brien, he says frosh RB Akeel Lynch could rise to 2nd team. Kid is good!

Love watching coach Johnson put theD-line through individual drills. One of the best in the business

Bill O'Brien offense multiple formations, multiple personnel groupings means players must pay attention to details.
