Josh Hull just for laughs?

Yeah, I could care less about that preview now. It was decent, but that is an insult.

Hullstache’s karmic retribution will be fierce.

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

My Grandmother Isn't Eligible Anymore

I’m not picking on Hull, I’m talking about how good Bowman and Lee are.

I mean, it's not too bad

At least he doesn’t cherry pick stats like, ahem, someone else.

Here we go again

As everyone here predicts a blow-out, I say Penn State wins 14-13, one TD being set up by a turnover. Out offense struggles again, and their D-Line dominates.

Oh, please

I beat you to that routine a long time ago, friendo…

We're tied

You were the only one saying Iowa, I was the only one saying OSU.

Hmmm....I never knew....

that we recruited garbage for the secondary.

I mean, c’mon, some of these guys might not see the NFL, but they are far from garbage.

I predict

PSU 17
MSU 28

MSU 71, PSU 64

We’re talking about basketball, right?

Wow, this preview actually made me laugh

It is like the only games he watched were the Iowa & OSU games, and saw their Dlines dominating our O line, and just figured, “hey, our defense will do just as well, so we’ll win (in a high scoring game? wtf?).” Something tells me that MSU’s D-line isn’t as good as OSU’s or Iowas, and while they may give us some fits, I don’t expect them to dominate.

Also, isn’t the purpose of the Cover 3 to prevent the big play, but that it allows the little dink and dunks. The whole “bend but don’t suck”? Apparently that means we’re now prone to the big play by MSU’s (admittedly very talented) receivers.

This preview just reeks of misguided assumptions, but I’d be more inclined to believe that the 9-2 team will beat the 6-5 team.

I think we do a good job on defense, giving up a couple big plays, but hopefully they don’t go for TDs and then our red zone defense can hold them. Our offense probably won’t do anything phenomenal, but not necessarily because of their defense. I’ll go with something like 23-17.

I also was intrigued

by the writer’s description of the Cover 3. Maybe this is opposite day.

31-13...PSU rolls...

…Dantonio calls all three timeouts at once with 1 second left on the clock to set up a 79 yard field goal.

WE ARE.......PENN STATE!

79 yard FG

is this to embarrass Wagner, or are we burning Fera’s redshirt?

by The JuggerNitt on Nov 18, 2009 1:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Joe's making Fera a LB anyway

I’m kidding, I hope.

MSU attempts the FG

WE ARE.......PENN STATE!

Wow

You’d think after reading that preview that MSU was 9-2 and playing for a BCS bowl game while PSU was 6-5 and playing for a lower tier bowl game.

by catesinator on Nov 18, 2009 4:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I'll summarize this preview in brief:

“PSU is average at best, and craptacular at worst. MSU on the other hand, is likely to play Florida in the BCS Championship game, once we blow by this speedbump in our schedule.”
