Back in 1983, the Chicago White Sox were having a successful year but the stats really didn't show it. They were winning through "scrappy play" (that's how Wikipedia.com termed it). This scrappy play was explained as "Winning Ugly."
Winning ugly pretty much describes Penn State football's 8 wins and 1 loss thus far this season. One game, the defense will shut down the other team, maybe that game or another, the offense will really shine.
Michael Robinson, the first string quarterback, is dangerously inconsistant. I say this because they take on Wisconsin this Saturday in what may be the showdown for top of the heap in the Big Ten conference. He can execute the play but from there but his long throws don't always connect, his short tosses are OK and the running plays work well enough, especially when he's running the ball himself.
Penn State has the potential to win this last home game of the season but...but...
