"Just wait until Taylor and Ruth graduate..."

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

This is what was said when the Penn State dynasty first began.  The idea was once that David Taylor and Ed Ruth graduated Penn State would fall back to earth and rejoin the pack.

I realized this year we can say the same thing about Stallroci and Brooks.  Brooks is definitely done after this year and Starocci has indicated this is his final season too.

So next year you're losing two guys who are near locks for 25+ points at NCAAs.

So once Stallroci and Brooks leave, will Penn State fall back to earth?

And who said they'd fall back?  Was this another bet that StickyBuns lost?

This does make me wonder, what exactly would need to happen to make the team race interesting for the next couple of years? A complete and total flop of the next 2 incoming classes? Kerkvliet deciding to retire to pursue MMA/WWE/Navy seals?

If Penn State's top 15 wrestlers (10 starter plus best 5 backups)  all had to go thru a total knee replacement a week before NCAAs.
