Good grief, three weeks ago most of had Ohio State on our radar! Get through Iowa and we are golden! Head to the Shoe 7-0 and we can compete!!
So here we sit, some predicting an Ohio State blow out, some predicting a 7-5 and season some predicting another Illinois let down against the likes of MD or Rutgers, and why? The team playing Ohio State saturday night is the same team that beat Auburn, Wisconsin and fell just short of Iowa. And yes, this is the same team (almost) that lost to Illinois. Unless JF is full of it and Clifford is not 100%, the 5-0 team is WHO will be playing against Ohio State....missing one guy (JP) that I wish was playing.
However, I am not about to take 6 quarters - call them how you seen them - and crown Ohio State an automatic winner. Illinois, T A&M, Florida, App State, Cincy, NC State, Purdue and Miami ALL had upset wins this year. What, Penn State is in a league of their own and is not permitted to have an upset win? ANd I got you news for you, Penn State is as good as and better than most of the teams that had upsets win this season.
There is a reason they call it FISHING and NOT CATCHING!! Play the game and see what happens. Maybe Ohio State will have 4 turnovers, maybe Clifford is aloud to pass down field and finds Dotson for 21 points again this season vs Ohio State. Who knows!! All I know is that Penn State has enough talent on offense and they have enough talent on defense to hang strong Saturday night!!!
GO STATE!!
Nice optimism. I don't expect PSU to win this week but I believe they can. As always I just want them to do the best that they can. However, I, unlike some on this forum, do understand that whenever PSU is on the field there are 11 players from the other team trying to stop whatever PSU wants to do.
