The Daily Gopher Previews PSU
I don't go over there a lot, but TDG has a decent PSU write up. Don't know if I agree with the score prediction.

Why in the HELL did we have to schedule them on Homecoming? What next? Iowa?

Wow
That’s a pretty laughable preview. He’s basically predicting we have nothing in the tank to fill in for the players that graduated. Meanwhile he’s hoping his two and three star players beat up our four and five star players. Okay.
He likes to think back to the 1999 game as the standard Minnesota will achieve in Happy Valley. I think the result will be more like 2005. Minnesota is coming east for a smackdown.

I remember in 2005...
…They hyped Maroney and Russell to death. Then on the opening kickoff, Ethan Kilmer planted Maroney on the 18 yard line.
I would love to see Stupar plant their AWESOME kick returner on the opening kickoff.
It’s one thing to think you have a chance at a big upset. It’s another to be almost arrogant in your belief that you’re going to pull off this upset.
I never thought that I would say I’m looking forward to this game.

I remember being concerned about Maroney, but it didn’t last long.

I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’d be surprised if he got more than 50 yards.

Ethan Kilmer was the man.

What’s funny is that the majority of FIGHT TRY WIN GOPHER NATION appears to be voting for Penn State to win.

As of my reading
“that” and my vote…92% have PSU out of 202 votes tallied.

I'm changing my entire preseason thoughts on the Big Ten
after reading that! Minnesota and Ohio State are co-Big Ten Champs, COUNT IT!!
I just can't get past the score prediction
Ohio State only put up six points on us last year. USC was the only team to top 25 points. But Minnesota is going to tag us with 38 in our house. Okay.

His special teams analysis
is brilliant. “The youngest and most inexperienced areas of Penn State’s team are their wideouts and defensive backfield. Kickoff return teams normally field some reserve players from these units. As the starters for Penn State are younger, the backups are even younger. Troy Stoudermire should be able to exploit these players’ inexperience and youth and have some big returns at Beaver Stadium.”
That’s like me saying that because I can only name two or three players on Minnesota, they only have two or three on the team (ignoring the fact that the positions he cites will probably comprise two of the ten spots on the kickoff coverage team).
the most laughable part about it
is that while we do usually stick the non-starters on special teams, I have a hard time believing we’d put out terrible players. If we don’t have the depth on coverage, there’d better be some starters out there.

I was thinking that our coverage team would be comprised of
the six backup linebackers who would all be starters had they gone to Minnesota.
Barely starters at Minnesota.

Experience counts.
They do bring back most of their players on a team that lost 55-0 to Iowa. I’m quite concerned—particularly considering this is in Happy Valley.
Classic
Look at it another way……. ….if the game finishes 24-24 at the end of regulation, It would only take each team two possessions to get to 38-34.

he is using the "if we had not barely lost we would have won" logic

Did I miss Newsome struggling at Blue/White?
9-13 71 yards 1 TD, and a drop of a 23 yard pass by McDonald.
