Don Brown on PSU
This man wants his revenge.
Brown on Penn State: "They handed to us last year. I did a poor job. ... We've got two weeks to prepare."

Asked if he's had the PSU game circled for a while: "I wake up every morning and I think about it."

This sounds made up but it’s not:
I sit in the stadium with a friend of the guy who’s an assistant to Brown. You can see him standing behind Brown all game with clipboards, pens, etc. that guy said last year Brown and Harbaugh were very confident of their defensive game plan for Penn St and really thought they were going to bottle up Barkley. Brown in particular was shocked at the adjustments Penn St made. Moorehead outprepared Brown/Harbaugh. Based on that, I have no doubt Brown will do anything he can to not let that happen this year

They pretty much did bottle up Barkley, at least on the ground. He had one long run, which happens with Brown's "nine executions and a jailbreak" style of defense, but the rest of his day rushing was 14 carries for 39 yards. McSorley had 3 rushing TDs and passed for almost 11ypa, and I don't know what you do about inch-perfect moonballs. We also got Moorehead after a bye week. I don't know if any defense in the country could've stopped that.
Moorehead put together one heck of a pick-your-poison offense with Barkley an ever-threatening presence. Limiting Barkley's carries wasn't enough, but I'm sure Brown learned from that mistake.

I like that. Sums up Brown's D pretty well.
