I hope he had consentSaw him on the sidelines tell the other Dlinemen, “I touched the Qb, I actually touched him!!” Had a big smile on his face, I’m happy for him.

Not worried about Stanley....he'll be fine against PSU.
agreed. He's gonna have to keep that up to remove the stigma from the first 5 games.I didn't watch the entire game but from what I saw he played pretty well.

Pre-season polls are pretty worthless.

Meh.... 3 solo tackles and assisted on 4 others. Far from being a standout, IMO. Kid is unbelievably strong, but not really quick and doesn't seem to have great vision. Looks to me like he will push into the backfield like a bull but then realize the ball went by him or in another direction. Not sure if it's coaching or just doing the best he can. He looks like a guy that could be a true disruptor, but for some reason it's just not happening for him. And I don't hear his name mentioned on any college football shows, especially considering that he is eligible for the NFL draft in 6 months. Anyway, I don't claim to be an expert but we have a lot of Hawk fans in the extended family and we do watch all their games and this is what I have taken away.

A sack, a TFL, and 3 qb hurries in addition to what you listed. That’s far from meh.Meh.... 3 solo tackles and assisted on 4 others. Far from being a standout, IMO.

I watched the entire Iowa game and honestly it was sort of annoying how much the announcers kept trying to ram it down the viewers throats that AJ has been "getting double teamed all year." I specifically watched him on almost every play and I'm here to tell you, he BARELY got double team or chipped. I was honestly quite surprised. He has struggled so much this year and I thought the "he's a specialty player" was just a troll by ISU fans. But I honestly think he can't handle being an every down type of player. I imagine scouts are seeing this and I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall out of the first round honestly
Boy....this post did NOT age well....Pre-season polls are pretty worthless.

Penn State is running a freshman at LT, so Epenesa was due for a good game. The announcers kept propagating the myth of all the double teams though.I didn't watch the entire game but from what I saw he played pretty well.

Didn't anticipate the interior line getting blown up repeatedly. My bad....Boy....this post did NOT age well....
The line was poor but Stanley was not very good either.Didn't anticipate the interior line getting blown up repeatedly. My bad....

Not being able to run the ball requires Stanley to have to throw the ball a ton, which is not a good thing. The past two games he's 48/85 for a 56% completion rating, 1 TD, and 4 interceptions. When the pressure has come, Stanley hasn't been able to make the throws and has made some terrible decisions. The blame is two fold.Line was easily the biggest problem the last two games. Their ability to not pick up the blitz against Michigan, not protect up the middle against PSU and not able to open holes in the running game against both teams is the biggest reason why the offense wasn't successful these past two games.
