"This Game Sucks": How to Improve the Gamification of Education
Gamification. Maybe you've heard of it. It's the new term invented to describe the application of game mechanics such as points, badges, and levels to non-game processes. Your first introduction to gamification may have been through a location-based check-in service like foursquare. Check in at the local Starbucks often enough and you get a Starbucks badge. Check in more than anyone else and you get to be mayor of your favorite local java joint. Though mobile devices and downloadable applications may have expanded the market for gamified systems, they're nothing new. Accumulating airline miles, earning frequent-shopper discounts, and even increasing gas mileage through the use of the gas efficiency gauge on a hybrid car are all, somewhat, games. Gamification is an effort to gain points and status for completing tasks. It may be the new hot thing to marketers, but to those of us in academia, these systems should seem familiar.
Education has been a system of status and points since the dawn of the Industrial Age. Scores on assignments serve as points. Graduation is a level achieved. A diploma is a badge of confidence from an accredited institution. However, critics of gamification claim that those who are trying to spice up their businesses with badges and levels don't actually understand how a game works. Rather than adding levels of engagement that make something fun, some of these applications simply add tracking systems, which these critics refer to as "pointsification."1 Just adding badges won't automatically make people want to earn them. Allowing one user to accumulate more points than other users won't necessarily motivate any of the users. I would argue that education has made the same mistake. Perhaps education could be improved by ditching the points and adding the game; technology can help.
What Is a Game?
The first step is to understand exactly what a game is. We've all played games, but because of the wide variety, it can be challenging to nail down what makes a game a game. I've identified three basic characteristics:
- A goal: Every game has a win condition: the combination of events and accomplishments that players need to achieve in order to end the game. In every good game, the goal is clear, and the rest of the game is constructed to create a system in which the tools necessary to reach the goal are available. Ultimately, what's most important about the goal is that players care enough to want to accomplish it.
- Obstacles: Easy games aren't much fun to play. Though the tools necessary to reach the goal should be part of the game, difficulties and challenges should be part as well. Without those obstacles, winning wouldn't mean much.
- Collaboration or competition: Games come in two basic flavors: those in which winning is determined by defeating another player, and those in which winning is determined by beating the game itself. The former can create competition among players. The second encourages a player to compete against him/herself until the player beats the game.
True gamification requires that all three characteristics be present. For example, if we think of foursquare as a game (whether or not it's a good one is up for debate), we can see that the goal is to acquire badges that earn the user a reputation and a sense of accomplishment. Obstacles in foursquare are the simple logistics of traveling to a location and taking the trouble to check in through the application. Finally, some users may choose to compete with other users by taking away mayorship of a popular spot, whereas some users may simply challenge themselves to collect the badges that they see as fun or interesting.
Is Higher Education Already a Game?
How does the typical higher education system match up to games? I would argue that it can be considered either as a very weak game or as a misunderstood point system.
Even though those of us in higher education would like to think that students understand the goal of finishing a degree or passing a course, the reality is that they may not. Ask students why they're in college, and they're likely to answer that earning a degree will bring them more money after graduation. It's extremely rare for students to say that they enrolled simply for the intellectual stimulation. So if education is a game, and students misunderstand what the goal is, they're bound to misunderstand the way the game works, as well as the methods they should use to win. If the goal is to earn a higher salary after graduation, then the game play will focus on courses that will yield the highest impact on a résumé; in that case, success would simply be passing the courses, not learning.
Faculty think of the obstacles in their courses as the intellectual challenges of mastering the content of the course. To overcome these obstacles, students are expected to engage in critical thinking and to push themselves to consider new ideas. However, students who aren't aligned to the true goal of an education may not see it this way. Getting past a demanding faculty member and earning the desired grade may be the only obstacles they see. The results are cheating, grade grubbing, and complaining that faculty aren't fair or grade too harshly. Again, misunderstanding the game leads to poor play.
Last is the issue of collaboration and competition. If the goal is intellectual growth, then classmates and faculty are teammates. If the goal is to beat the system and earn more money, then classmates are competition and faculty are obstacles to be overcome. The result is animosity and demands on higher education institutions to become degree mills rather than places of learning.
Improving the "Game" of Education
What can we do to fix this problem? I see two choices: (1) take away the pointsification; or (2) improve the game. Grades and degrees aren't going anywhere, so the first option won't work. We're left with the challenge of taking a rather poor game and making it a better one. Making school a game is not a new idea; in fact, there are entire schools that are run as games and that are doing quite well. Of course, many in higher education think of games as frivolous and will say that the job of faculty and administrators is to deliver a quality education, not an entertaining experience. To me, a quality education and an entertaining experience are one and the same. True intellectual challenge is exhilarating. Lifelong learners become so because they find learning fun.
Changing the fundamental nature of higher education is a daunting task, but there are small steps we can take. Here are three ideas for faculty and some example applications of each:
- Make goals clear, and explain how the course, major, or degree prepares learners to achieve those goals. Ensure that students align on the goals and want to achieve them.
- Spend as much time in class and on the syllabus covering the importance of the learning goals as is spent explaining the grading system of the class.
- When writing assignment descriptions, include a "How you can use this in the future" section.
- Make progress transparent to each learner. Grades and assignment completion are not the only ways to measure progress toward achieving the goals.
- Give students a way to track their progress on each learning goal of the class. An online checklist that students fill out on their own can help them stay on track.
- Create commodities for desired behavior. For example, hand out poker chips to students who contribute in class; a student who cashes in ten poker chips earns a "Top Contributor" badge.
- Add peer voting to class activities such as discussions and online forums. Allowing students to identify the contributions that they see as valuable will highlight good models for other students to follow, as well as provide positive feedback to the contributing student.
- Think about your own game play. Reflection can reveal insights into innovations that can be leveraged in education.
- Consider the game apps on your phone or iPad. How do you decide which to play and which to ditch? What makes a game "fun" to play?
- Ask students which games they play and how they learned to play them. Talking about how we learn can help students improve their own techniques.
"Gamification" is about motivation and engagement. Making learning fun does not require huge investments in technology. Instead, focusing on the ways that entertainment technology engages us can result in methods that we can transfer to any learning situation.

Blog Posting on Gaming in MMORPGs, and elements that we can copy
I put together a blog on "Gaming in Learning" and I on one of my posts I came to some interesting conclusions. Here is the post from my blog at http://learningingaming.blogspot.com/
Well I was thinking on the issue and I came to some conclusions on the nature of MMORPGs and other kinds of video games. These are some near-universal concepts that seem to be supplement the gamer experience.
The user chooses a role or job class with which gives them certain skills and tasks to accomplish.
The user choose a group or party with which they have a gaming experience.
The gaming experience is immersive and requires the user to use his or her skills or tasks to get through this immersive environment.
The skills and tasks are necessary to the success of the group in the gaming experience.
However, I speculate that it is the gaming experience and with it, successes and failures, that determine the player's want to replay. Therefore, at this point I'd like to evaluate the different elements of the gaming experience which seem to draw in players.
Some examples of the gaming experience are:
an intricate story that unravels itself as the game progresses,
missions or goals that can be accomplished by the group that lead to rewards,
new skills or abilities that make the gaming experience easier or different,
The ability to create your own materials or items which empowers the player,
and the use of analysis to gain competitive advantage over situations.
All of these elements of the gaming experience seem to be organized using a scaffolding method, as you can only receive certain experiences (stories, items, missions, quests, skills, etc.) as you complete or attain more basic elements. Therefore, the benefits of playing the game are handed out piece by piece and you cannot accomplish everything at once. That would be detrimental to replay-ability, and cause players to get bored.
But what about the use of the group or party system, how does this appeal to the gaming experience? The party system is the primary way that users accomplish their goals. It radically accelerates the speed at which a player can progress through the game. In other words, if a user wants to accomplish the goals set forth by the game, and I'm considering if they are playing only for themselves, then it is beneficial for them to work in a group where they have more security, more access to resources, more education from fellow players, more gaming experiences. The fun that they have in the group and the party experience is a secondary benefit. The gaming experience is the primary benefit.
I will keep thinking about these issues. Being that I am a librarian, I would seek out new articles on these gaming issues and see if I can accumulate more data on the topic.

"Gamification is about motivation and engagement..
A really clear look at gamification and education. I am a long time chemistry faculty who started a high tech startup with just this conviction, gamification can make a C change in learning.
With gamification, through rewards for the right behavior, through learning related "challenges", through opportunities for socializing and collaboration on answering user questions, you can keep digital millenials engaged in learning. On my startup OpenStudy, because of the game mechanics, the levels, titles (sensei, guru), social chats, and community approval for good helpers and good learners, our users find us "addictive" and "fun"! And all this while they discuss fibonacci series and "Dubliners"! OpenStudy is a community of gamers, but the game is learning, the rewards are the medals you get when someone gets your explanation, and the competition, is to level up, by solving problems, helping, being a good citizen and a willing learner! You are so right Sarah"intellagirl" Game on!

Gamification of Ed: Could 'Angry Birds' Show the Way Forward?
Hi Sarah & Commentors—
Thanks for the great article (and great thinking) on gamification of education. I've been working on one called "The Angry Birds Guide to Online Lesson Design". I'm still in the process of fleshing it out and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

But *do* we define the goal?
The students think they know the goal. They've been taught very carefully what the goal is. "Go to college: earn more money." They've heard this since middle school, and hardly a month goes by that it isn't reinforced by a new study.
It's a good goal. A reasonable goal. And for many students it is the goal. I don't believe that we can get everyone to agree on a single goal, because we serve multiple clienteles out of the same resources. We need to design a game in which you can pursue two different goals (material security and self-actualization) by similar methods. Maybe master-level play involves the optimization of those two goals.
That doesn't require us to give up on lifelong learning, or improving one's mind as an end in itself. Learning at any point in one's life has both economic and personal value, and I think that it is this that we need to communicate to students. You can have both, and they are both worth something. If we honor their values, we get four years to inspire them to examine those values and more fully imagine what life can be. Is that a good definition of the game we want to play?

"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and snap! The job's a game!"
Plenty of great elements in this article. Education has been game-like for a long time, but reliant upon point gathering as a motivation. And thinking everyone will want to maximize the points they earn is a mistaken motivator. For that matter, I would have little faith in points earned being an accurate measurement of "getting it" in a life long learner method. Cramming for the tests to gather all the points I can, would keep me from seeking a deeper, better understanding of the class subject.
Education is certainly a game as identified by the three listed characteristics. Fights can break out on the area of collaboration or competition, because students working together is just cheating, after all (to some). This game needs to be improved, and the process to bring about that improvement might even need some gamification itself?
On thing from the three ideas at the end really jumped out at me:
"When writing assignment descriptions, include a "How you can use this in the future" section"
If you find you cannot provide this description for the assignment, what is the point? Just to provide an opportunity to gather points?
The Game of Education, should be preparing us for the Game of Life. The better the Education Game is, the higher our expectations for Life can be, perhaps?

by Jeff Lorber
Released: Apr 2007
Label: Narada
Jeff Lorber shares two things with Joe Sample ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂàhe helped blueprint the smooth jazz keyboard style on the one hand but is also a more inventive jazz musician than even many of his fans know. Lorber puts real jazz heat into even the most radio friendly numbers for this solo outing (which includes soulful vocal cuts with Eric Benet and Paula Cole). There are even a couple of more straight-ahead jazz numbers and the topflight guests (incuding Chris Botti, Hubert Laws, Russell Malone and Randy Brecker) also know how to bring bop muscle to smooth jazz.

It's not all about MP, that's just a resolution. Doesn't count for the quality of the pic.
My wife's iPhone 4 takes better pics than a couple of the Droid X2 and Incs floating around the office. Jussayin.
You, mr six, are as jaded as they come. That OG droid you used + the Eris are tainting your perception. I mean, it's no wonder you are so interested considering your phones you currently use are 2+ years old.
Maybe so, but let's be honest. If I bought a new Android phone today, it would still have the same buggy, half-arsed app carrying, have to root and tinker OS. Just my opinion.
I would never, in a zillion years, give up my Droid Inc for an iPhone 4s. iOS 5 has pull down notifications! Weeee!! Ah right, android. App access from lock screen? Weee!!! Oh wait, HTC Sense 3.0 and up. iOS 5 has lots of apps! Weeeeee!! Wait, so does android.
I'll agree that pull down notifications is a rip off. However, it's a good system that works. I'll give Android that. App access from the lock screen, meh, who cares. Lots of apps? Yes sir. iOS has the best selection of quality apps. This is debatable but I hate missing out on games and apps because I have Android. Yes Android is catching up but waiting sucks.
Besides all this, the 4s is an incremental update, and once you are in their ecosystem.. you are stuck with...
"This great new feature called Siri will change the world! But.. You gotta buy a whole new device to use it..."
My droid inc can run whatever flavor of Sense I want which means I don't have to keep buying new devices.
Siri looks awesome. Android's voice commands are extremely sloppy and not accurate at all. I've tried to adapt to it and it just keep throwing up crazy words. Unusable IMO. Let's see how Siri does.
What about Airplay? There are no other offerings out there that I've seen that does the same just as easily. I know not everyone has an Apple TV, but it's a sweet combo, especially when showing photos, video, etc.
As for your last sentence, that involves TINKERING. No freakin way, no more. I'm so sick and tired of having to waste time with my devices just trying to get it to work the way it should. I've wasted enough of my time with Android. My wife's iPhone 4 worked (and still works) perfectly out of the box, no hassle and no fuss. Can't do that with Android. BLOATED out of the box! "Oh but you need to root, ADB shell into the phone. . . " Just stop right there. If it involves tinkering, then no thanks.

What you need to know: While it might seem like there should
be problems with the loss of a starting trio of wide receivers
like Derrick Williams, Deon Butler, and Jordan Norwood, and with
having to replace three all-star offensive linemen, the offense
should be more than fine as long as QB Daryll Clark is healthy.
The team's unquestioned leader, Clark has the total command of
the offense and he has the weapons around him to be a league MVP
if everything breaks the right way. The 1-2 rushing punch of
Evan Royster and Stephfon Green will be devastating once Green's
broken leg heals up Sophomores Chaz Powell and Derek Moye will
be the new star receivers, while the talented tight ends,
specifically Andrew Quarless, will be used more. The line needs
DeOn'tae Pannell to shine at left tackle so Dennis Landolt can
stay on the right side, but there will be plenty of shaking up
of the lineup before the right combination is found. Even so,
the line should be good with a little bit of time.
Passing: Daryll Clark
192-321, 2,592 yds, 19 TD, 6 INT
Rushing: Evan Royster
191 carries, 1,236 yds, 12 TD
Receiving: Evan Royster
17 catches, 155 yds, 0 TD
Star of the offense:
Senior QB Daryll Clark
Player who has to step up and become a star: Sophomore OT
DeOn'Tae Pannell
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore WR Chaz Powell
Best pro prospect: Junior RB Evan Royster
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Clark, 2)
Royster, 3) C Stefen Wisniewski
Strength of the offense: Running back, Receiver size
Weakness of the offense:
quarterback, Line experience
Projected Starter:
With a sixth year of
eligibility, senior Daryll Clark is back after
an MVP-caliber season (even though Iowa's Shonn Greene was the
Big Ten Player of the Year) completing 60% of his throws for
2,592 yards with 19 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He
also ran for 282 yards and ten touchdowns. At 6-2 and 233
pounds, he's a thick, tough, strong player with excellent
mobility and a great command of the offense. With so many new
pieces to the Penn State offensive puzzle, he'll have to be even
steadier this season. With his experience, he appears ready to
make everyone around him better. The one question mark is his
ability in the clutch. While he helped lead the way to an Alamo
Bowl win over Texas A&M two years ago, he threw a key late
interception against Iowa that ended up leading to the Hawkeye's
game-winning drive, and it was Pat Devlin who led the way to the
win at Ohio State with the key late drive (after Clark got
knocked out of the game). And then there was the Rose Bowl, when
he was fantastic in the second half against USC after he
struggled and the team was getting blown out in the first half.
That's not to say he can't be the main man when needed, but
unlike last year, he'll have to carry the team through
Projected Top Reserve: 6-2, 225-pound true
freshman Kevin Newsome isn't ready to take over
the starting job, but he's as polished as can be considering he
left school early to join the team this spring. He didn't buckle
against the good Nittany Lion pass rush in practices, and while
he still needs a ton of time to become consistent, he appears to
be the main man for the future. A great runner, if he's in the
game he'll be taking off more than he'll be throwing.
Redshirt freshman Matthew McGloin is the clear
third man in the mix. At 6-1 and 196 pounds, he's not the
biggest of passers, but he has a decent arm and good mobility.
While he has a year of experience in the system, he still needs
a lot more time before he's ready to be considered for a
starting job. This year will be an important season to see where
he stands going into next year's camp.
Watch Out For ... Clark to repeat last year's season.
Many will predict a slight dip considering the loss of all the
starting receivers, but this year's receiving corps appears to
be solid and Clark should be even quicker with his decision
Strength: Mobility. Clark is a playmaker who makes
things happen with his legs as well as his arm and his head,
while Newsome is a big, dangerous runner who can be used from
time to time just to throw a curve ball into the equation. Both
have live arms, too.
Weakness: Backup quarterback. Newsome is a true freshman, and
you know how Joe Paterno feels about playing the inexperienced.
With Pat Devlin transferring, the Nittany Lions have to hope for
Clark to stay healthy, and effective, of a possible Big Ten
title season could quickly go kaput.
Outlook: Clark might turn out to be the Big Ten
MVP if he can lead the Nittany Lions to the Rose Bowl again, but
he'll have to prove he can come up big late in tight games.
While he's a great runner, he needs to do everything possible to
avoid the big hits and to stay on the field. Newsome is
promising, but the team would be extremely happy if he's not a
part of the equation this year.
Rating: 8.5
Running Backs
Projected Starters: When healthy, 6-1,
209-pound junior Evan Royster is a special back
with first round draft pick potential. He came up with a
breakout season rushing for 1,236 yards and 12 touchdowns,
averaging 6.5 yards per carry, while catching 17 passes for 155
yards, and now he's looking to do even more. Just when he
appeared ready to make a big statement on the national stage,
and become the hot player coming into this year, he suffered a
sprained knee and a bad case of USC Linebackeritis in the Rose
Bowl, being held to 34 yards. Now he's 100% and he should be in
for a huge year with his combination of speed, power, and
toughness sure to be enough to force him to make a tough
decision on whether or not to stick around for his senior year.
The big question is his durability, getting hit with an ankle
problem two years ago. When he's on the field, he's one of the
nation's elite players.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore Stephfon
Green is lightning with the ball in his hands and is a
terrific No. 2 back. The 5-10, 192-pounder was second on the
team with 578 yards and four touchdowns, but he's trying to get
back healthy after suffering a broken leg in the Rose Bowl.
While he wasn't ready yet this spring, he's expected to be fine
for the start of the season and once again be a steady producer
who could be a starter without a problem if anything happened to
Royster.With injury problems among the backups, 6-0,
219-pound sophomore Brandon Beachum got plenty
of work this offseason as a key reserve behind Royster. The most
powerful back in the mix, he's a physical runner with good
quickness and the potential to be a pounding chain mover. He's
not all that fast and he needs time and more reps, but he was
able to get in a little work last year rushing for 114 yards and
a score in blowouts.Junior Brent Carter
started out his career as a safety before moving over to running
back. the 6-2, 211-pounder has a nice blend of power and speed,
and he was able to get in a little work rushing for 129 yards
and averaging 5.9 yards per carry. However, he's iffy at best
for the season as he's trying to get back from a torn ACL.
6-0, 214-pound sophomore Shaine Thompson
was one of the surprises of spring ball showing the toughness to
be used as a fullback and the ability to be a runner for
stretches. A plugger, who's most like a linebacker playing in
the backfield, he'll do the dirty work for the offense and he
should grow into a key blocker.
Watch Out For ... Beachum. With Green hurt and Carter
iffy, Beachum has to take advantage of the opportunity and
become the steady back he was expected to be coming out of high
school. He might put up big numbers early on, and then be phased
out as the season rolls.
Strength: Quickness. Royster is fast, while Green
can dart in and out of traffic and out of jams. The experience
will also help, with the four top running backs of last year
Weakness: Backup health. Royster hasn't exactly had the
world on his shoulders, getting just 191 carries last year and
with Green getting 105, and he has to prove he can last a whole
season if he's a full-time feature back. If he goes down, the
team will have to hope Green's leg is right or there could be
Outlook: If all goes well, Penn State will have
the same year as 2008 running the ball with a healthy mix of
Royster and Green, about 250 yards from Daryll Clark, and
production from one of the receivers, maybe Chaz Powell, to fill
a Derrick Williams-like role. Only injuries can keep the team
from running for more than 2,500 yards.
Rating: 8.5
Projected Starters:
It'll be a battle all season
long to see who becomes the No. 1, go-to target, and going into
the fall, sophomore Derek Moye has the look of
a burgeoning star. Not only does he have 6-5, 195-pound size,
but he has sub-4.4 speed and tremendous upside. While he's not
polished and could stand to put on another 10-to-15 pounds of
bulk, the former running back, who caught three passes for 71
yards last season highlighted by a 33-yard touchdown grab
against Syracuse, has all the tools. 6-1, 195-pound
sophomore Chaz Powell is a blazer who'll be
used in a Derrick Williams-like role. Not only will he be a key
wide receiver, but he'll likely see about 30 carries, after
running for 74 yards and two touchdowns last season, and will be
the team's top kickoff returner. Now he has to become a more
reliable target. He caught two passes for 37 yards in his
limited role last year, and while he has the potential to be a
top playmaker for the passing game, he has to do a better job of
holding on to the ball; he fights the ball a little bit too
much.Junior Graham Zug isn't the best
athlete in the rotation, he's a decent veteran with good
quickness and great route running ability. The 6-2, 178-pound
walk-on caught 11 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns, with
his season highlighted by a 49-yard play against Ohio State.
He'll clean up everything underneath while the speed receivers
take care of the deep balls.Senior tight end
Andrew Quarless looked like a special prospect after
catching 21 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his
freshman year, but then a knucklehead streak kicked in. In and
out of the doghouse, hurt mostly by a suspension for a DUI
charge, he was fine over the last two years, but nothing great
catching 25 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns. Now he
appears ready to turn things back around. At 6-4 and 253 pounds
with tremendous speed, blocking ability, and hands, he has
become new man around the program with the NFL payday there for
the taking.
Projected Top Reserves:
Junior Brett Brackett will
work in a rotation with Derek Moye at one spot after catching 13
passes for 160 yards and a score as a reserve. With 6-6,
231-pound size, he's a matchup problem who should be a dangerous
target in three and four wide sets. While he's not a blazer, he
has just enough speed to make things happen down the field.
Redshirt freshman A.J. Price is a rail-thin
6-4, 173-pounder, but he's a potentially dangerous threat
playing behind Powell. With his height, he poses matchup
problems, but he'll only become a big part of the equation if he
can prove he can handle himself against tougher, more physical
defensive backs.While Quarless is the team's best tight
end, and one of the best in the nation, 6-4, 249-pound senior
Mickey Shuler isn't a bad second option. The
son of the former NFL tight end by the same name isn't an elite
receiver, but he's a good route runner and a terrific blocker.
He only caught nine passes for 120 yards and a touchdown last
season, but that's because the offense didn't use the tight ends
enough.Eventually, sophomore Andrew Szczerba
will be a factor at tight end. At 6-6 and 260 pounds,
he has the size and wide receiver-like hands, but he'll mainly
be a blocker.
The 2006 Delaware Gatorade Player of the
Year was a star high school defensive end as well as a tight
end, and while he only made one catch for nine yards, he has the
talent to do far more.
Watch Out For ... Powell.
He's not likely to lead the team in receiving, that'll probably
be Moye, but he'll end up being a do-it-all playmaker and one of
the team's top weapons.
Strength: Size. This group is big and fast, with
Powell and Moye each possessing next-level wheels. Even the
small receivers are around 6-2, while Moye goes 6-4, Brackett is
6-6, and Price is 6-4.
Weakness: Experience. Deon Butler, Derrick Williams and Jordan
Norwood combined for 132 catches for 1,932 yards and 17
touchdowns. There was little room for anyone else to shine, and
while there's a ton of promise among the new starters, there
aren't any sure things to count on.
Outlook: While it might seem devastating to lose
four-year producers like Butler, Williams and Norwood, the team
is stocked with excellent prospects. Moye and Powell will be
stars, while the tight ends need to be used more. Quarless will
be a better pro once he gets used the right way, and now he
needs the ball more in the Penn State attack.
Projected Starters:
The line was amazing last year, but now
it has to undergo some major changes with some key new starters needing
to replace the departed all-stars. With A.Q. Shipley gone at center,
junior Stefen Wisniewski will move over from right
guard, where he started for most of last year when he wasn't working on
the left side. The nephew of former Penn State and NFL star, Steve,
beefed up this offseason to get up to 302 pounds on a 6-3 frame, and now
he should be even more physical and stronger for the running game. While
he should be a star at center, he'll make his money at the next level at
guard.The only other starter returning to the line, and the only
one returning to his regular position is Dennis Landholt,
a 6-4, 303-pound right tackle who started every game to up his starting
streak to 26 straight games. An honorable mention All-Big Ten performer,
he was overshadowed last year but he became a solid, dependable
all-around blocker who's healthy after getting hurt in the Rose Bowl. As
good as he is and with his experience, he's better at right tackle than
left.Moving in for Gerald Cadogan at left tackle will be
DeOn'Tae Pannell, a 6-5, 313-pound sophomore with all the tools
to be special. While he has a lot of pressure on his shoulders and will
be the spotlight player on the revamped line, he should be up for the
job. He's been just good enough to keep Landolt on the other side. A
fantastic run blocking prospect, he has to prove he can be consistent in
pass protection.With Wisniewski moving to the middle, 6-4,
305-pound junior Lou Eliades will take over after
serving as a key reserve. He missed most of 2007 with a broken foot, but
he came back to work at right tackle behind Landolt and stepping in when
needed in the Rose Bowl. Now he'll move inside where he'll be an
athletic right guard with the versatility to move back outside if
necessary.There's a battle for the left guard job, but the
leader in the race, by a slim margin, is Johnnie Troutman,
a 6-4, 322-pound sophomore who's good enough to see time at tackle if
needed. One of the team's strongest players, he should be devastating
for the running game once he's able to settle in. However, he'll have to
be perfect or he'll quickly move to the second team.
Projected Top Reserves: If it's not Troutman at
left guard, it'll be Matt Stankiewitch, a 6-3,
290-pound redshirt freshman who's far lighter than Troutman, but much,
much quicker. He saw plenty of work throughout spring ball with the
first team, but he'll most likely be one of the team's most important
While Pannell is considered the star of
the future, while getting his chance at left tackle now, senior
Nerraw McCormack should play a role. He
would've had an even shot at getting the job, but he suffered a
knee injury and is trying to get back to 100% before challenging
again this fall. At 6-5 and 295 pounds, he's not as big as
Pannell, but he can more than hold his own as both a run blocker
and in pass protection.
Watch Out For ...
Pannell. It's not a stretch to call him the key to the offense.
As long as he's good, Landolt can stay at his more natural right
tackle position. If it all comes together and Pannell uses his
skills to become a star, he'll be on everyone's list of top NFL
Strength: Versatility. The team's best guard,
Wisniewski, will be playing center, Eliades can play tackle or
guard, Landolt can play either tackle spot, and several other
players are able to move around when needed.
Weakness: Continuity. You don't lose three all-star offensive
linemen without suffering a little bit of a drop-off. With only
one player, Landolt, returning to his starting spot, it might
take a little while for the production to be there compared to
last year.
Outlook: While the line might take a while to be
anywhere near as good as it was last year, the potential is
there for this year's front five to be more talented. Eliades
has always had star potential, but he's just now about to reach
it. Pannell will make money at the next level, while Wisniewski
will be a first day selection for somewhere in the middle. It
might take a while for everything to come together, but this
will hardly be a weakness.
