Is that Brandon Ware and Jaypa?
I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?

PREDICTIONS (here!)
What did I say yesterday? 41-10? 41-10. Lots of plodding and handing off in the second half.
I will practically be insulted if we don’t get either a defensive or special teams TD today. CCU’s been having real trouble with punts in practice.

Predictions
I’m sayin 52-7. 7 td’s, but knowing Jay he’ll still manage to call the wrong plays at some point and we’ll have to settle for a 23 yard field goal. Its only customary. Oh, and Little Wally will get the Chants a “parting gift TD” sometime in the 4th vs. a bunch of guys that will be seeing their only game action this season.

Hell yeah
I counted three PSU clips in the Gameday intro. I thought to myself, do Pitt fans watching that get jealous that there’s no chance in hell of a highlight of their own on there? Its the little things in life…

Postcards from Panther Football
This is what the north end zone of Heinz looked like while with the score 27-17 with 7 min left in the fourth quarter. Pitt had the ball and was driving and really could have used some crowd support. The Bowling Green fans were rowdy as hell.
Sitting there, I could not believe my eyes. Parking was almost impossible to find before the game started, and three hours later, this. Largest fair-weather fan base in sports.

We better totally blow them away. If it’s close at any time of the game(other than start) we have problems. I’m also ticked because if we do have a miracle year like 2005 these “cupcakes” are going to kill us at the end of the year when we’re looking for respect. But on a positive…it’s time for PSU football!

First home game I've missed in my three years as a student here
And maybe the second home game I’ve skipped in the last 6 or 7 years. Damn flu. Where can I listen to old Jonesy on the intertubes? Or, even better, does anyone know of any “free” video feeds on the web?
Hmmm. My guess on the score? 37-14. And Devlin will take some snaps in garbage time.

Bad Call
Our LB’s have looked horrible. Can’t defend a screen or any of the checkdowns. I haven’t been all that impressed with our O-line so far either. They should really be blowing these guys off the ball.. They’ve been leaning on Royster’s awesomeness to much.
Positives: Kickoff coverage has been much better. And the whole offense looks a half step faster with Clark out there. You don’t realize how slow Morelli getting the snap, taking his steps and delivering the ball until you watch Clark. Clark actually read the field on one of his throws to Butler which I thought was incredible.
Seriously though.. the LB’ers have looked clueless.
Williams looks a half step faster this year.

The LBs
are inexperienced, and are likely overexcited. Once they comfortable during the games, they’ll start to see more and react better. I’d rather they work these kinks out during a cupcake game than against OSU
