Curt Cignetti on his program's philosophy on how not to be average:

🎭 Average is a decision disguised as a default. Make standards visible, measurable, and non-negotiable. Because what you tolerate becomes your identity.

🤝 Most people negotiate with the work; elite teams eliminate the negotiation. The gap isn’t talent, it’s the daily refusal to accept “good enough” in reps, details, and accountability.

🧱 You don’t rise above average in big moments, you escape it in small ones. Every meeting, drill, and conversation is either reinforcing the standard, or quietly lowering it.

Penn State's offensive line coach showed up to spring practice in a black cutoff shirt with the word "Dogs" on it.

His hat said "Dogs. Offensive Line."

His office door has a sticker that says "Beware of Dog."

This is not a bit. This is Ryan Clanton. And most Penn State fans have no idea who he actually is.

Clanton did not start playing football until his junior year of high school in Bakersfield, California. He went completely unrecruited. Ended up at City College of San Francisco — where he lived in a garage for two years — and became a junior college All-American.

That earned him a scholarship to Oregon. He became a captain under Chip Kelly. Won the Rose Bowl. Won the Fiesta Bowl. Went 36-4 as a player. Got invited to NFL training camps with Tampa Bay and Green Bay.

Then he coached his way from his high school alma mater to Ventura College to Northern Iowa to Iowa State and now to Penn State.

Every single stop earned on merit. Nothing handed to him.

At Iowa State his offensive line went from 108 rushing yards per game to 174.5 in three seasons. His linemen got drafted. He turned Campbell's run game into one of the most physical in the Big 12.

Now he is standing in Holuba Hall telling Penn State players they are either a human shield or a hammer.

"You have to be violent. You have to want to be violent. You have to want to run through somebody's face."

Last week during a drill a 331-pound tackle named Malachi Goodman punched him in the chest so hard he felt it in his back.

Clanton's response: "That's exactly what I'm looking for."

Penn State's offensive line has been soft for years. The standard has been to protect. To absorb. To survive.

That standard just changed.

Dogs only.

We Are. 🦁

I mean… who else got chills?

[Steven Pappas @StevenPappasTV]

I’m not joking when I say, that was the silkiest sequence of hockey I’ve ever seen.

Just straight FILTH.

@UNDFootball360 Kid is built like a fullback!

@JacquesMuhirwa @corey_vanray you ever thought about farming this way?

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@corey_vanray @Plantmore1 Better to be safe than sorry. It’s scary out there.

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@mtmichaelson @NDScottMeyer @TNTechFootball @TTUGoldenEagles @OVCBigSouthFB @NCAA_FCS Either bad teams commit turnovers or good teams force them, therefore the turnovers were done by TTU. Clean the ball up and you had a chance but they did not do that today. UND defense dominated that offense.

@UNDFootball360 🔥🔥🔥

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@gbruce_12 @UNDFootball360 I think USD losing to SIU solidifies them getting in, but need a big win next week with SDSU coming to town to get as high of a seed as possible.

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@UNDFootball360 @MSURacers @ValleyFootball This has to be one of the worse broadcasts I’ve watched this year.

@UNDFootball360 Kid just hasn’t been able to catch a break. Been a really good player when he’s been on the field.

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@UNDFootball360 Not getting points before half was baffling, absolutely need to get 3 there.

[Devin Barton @DBart74]

@MNTwinsZealot Between the radio and TV I barely missed a handful of games a year since I’ve been walking. I think I have tuned into one game since the trade deadline - I have had a very hard time being interested after what they’ve done.
