This season is different than anything that PSU has seen since the last time that the Nittany Lions won their last national title back in the mid 80’s. The team has dominated every game that they have played thus far in almost all aspects of the game, which is why the Penn State football team can be compared to a dictatorship. A dictatorship is defined as autocratic rule, control, or leadership. The main reason that this comparison can be drawn is because the team has had complete control and leadership on nearly ever play since the beginning of the season. This dictatorship must have a leader or “dictator” and this person is Michael Robinson. Not only has he been a part of the Penn State football program for 5 years, he has also played nearly every offensive position. His positions have ranged from running back, to wide receiver, and now he fills the position of starting quarterback, team captain, and most importantly team leader. Sure Michael Robinson is experienced and has a wealth of knowledge of the game of football, but what about the talented true freshman Derrick Williams, Justin King, and freshman Deyon Butler. Without these gentlemen and their hands, which can be considered to be made of glue, nearly all of the touchdowns would not be accounted for and more than likely would not have happened [This has what to do with a dictatorship?]. With these receivers and Michael Robinson as their dictator, it is a recipe for disaster for any team that attempts to come in and think that we are not the real deal [should you maybe compare this to the way most dictators are propped up by a military or band of thugs?]. Along with our receivers, there is a lot to be said about the running game here as well. Nothing else can be said about Tony Hunt except for the fact that he is a beast. Any person who can run into a large group of full grown men and nearly knock every single one of them on their @$$es is, to me, amazingly strong and powerful [and this has what to do with your analogy?]. In conclusion, the football team can be considered to be a dictatorship because of the fact that they have dominated and will continue to dominate every team that they play. This statement also includes the game against Ohio State. They have got nothing on us[.] [W]e have the momentum, the courage and the determination. They will come in here expecting to stomp all over us which will not happen, and that is exactly how we will beat them. We will dominate them, just as every good dictatorship has done to their people in the past[.] Michael Robinson will take the team, put them on his shoulders, and carry them. LET’S GO STATE!!!
[First off, this isn't an analogy argument. Beyond the basic statement of your analogy (PSU -> dictator) there isn't any further discussion of the relationships between football and dictatorship. In other words, this is not argued well enough to be a complete paper. Also, the last paragraph needs to be at least two paragraphs]

In the past few years, the football team has not exactly been the most stellar of sights to behold. Not only have they lacked the ability to win, but I also believe that they, in some respects, lacked the talent and team chemistry to win. In some of the games, the defense would be performing like they should and keeping the Nittany Lions in the football game, while the offense would not be performing. Sometimes the defense would leave their game at home as the offense took the load of carrying the team and keeping them in the game. As a result, there were very few times in which both the defense and the offense came to play football.

When one thinks of Penn State football, what comes to mind? Perhaps the words greatness, domination, tradition, and even the newly coined term JoePa, referring to Joe Paterno. In the past, primarily the early to mid 90’s, the Penn State football team was nothing short of amazing. The main reason for this is because of Penn State Alumni and former NFL stars such as Lavar Arrington and Kerry Collins. Without people like that, the Penn State football team would not be anything like it is now.
