With no marquee wins to its name in 2009 thus far, Penn State fans can hardly go crazy about this season.

The source of the team's problems can be found in its very weak offensive line.

We knew that the offensive line was weak going into the year—Joe Paterno told us that he had worries about the line before a pass was even thrown.

It's plain and simple, people.

Ohio State destroyed the Nittany Lions' offensive line. We found more trouble against Iowa.

But let's not get too upset, Penn State fans. We should see the Nittany Lions play in a January 1 bowl game this year. But after the losses against Ohio State and Iowa, it's hardly been a satisfying season.

But then again, we did beat Michigan! That should make you feel better.
