...Penn, the Quakers need to find some offense, quickly. Through three-and-a-half quarters against Villanova last weekend, Penn had recorded just 113 yards of total offense. I don’t care how good the Quaker ‘D’ is, if quarterback Pat McDermott continues to go 10-for-30 with only 140 yards passing, Penn just isn’t going to win football games. It’s that simple...
...champion Penn may have put up 61 points in its opener against San Diego, but 313 of the Quakers’ 481 total yards and six of its eight touchdowns came on the ground.

Penn’s first test of the year—a matchup with Villanova comes just two games in, so McDermott better grow into the position quickly...
