Brazen Predictions and Early Morn’ Open Thread Week 12: Rutgers

Hey y’all! I just wrote an absurd amount of words on Penn State’s wrestling tournament tomorrow (which you can read all about at later!), so we’re gonna dive right into predictions.

Clay: Penn State scores 69 points on a hapless Rutgers defense and I make every possible childish joke I can think of.

Eli: Barkley won't go for 300-plus yards, as everyone expects,

Jared: Saquon Barkley finishes with three touchdowns, including a 60-yard scamper, while Miles Sanders hits the century mark for the first time as a Nittany Lion. For the third time in four weeks, Chris Godwin finds the end zone twice. Penn State’s defensive line puts on a show, with Garrett Sickels leading the charge with 2.5 sacks, while Kevin Givens and Evan Schwan also chip in with 1.5 apiece. Curtis Cothran also contributes 3 tackles for loss and a pass deflection.

DLando: Barkley does not rush for 200 yards, and Penn State does not score 50 points.

Chris T: Brandon Smith will finish with 10 tackles. Tommy Stevens will have a touchdown run and pass. The game will be decided late in the second quarter.

Chris L: The starters are pulled in the third quarter. Tommy Stevens and Miles Sanders score another 21 points. Everyone calls for them to be the starters. JoeMo laughs all the way from Piscataway to State College.

Aaron: Tommy Stevens doesn't play in this game.

Tim: The Penn State defense garners not one, but TWO pick-sixes.

So Tim, you’re saying the defense will score two *Looks into camera and waves*...tuddies.

That’s the best we got for this week. As always, comment with your predictions on the open thread below! We’ve attached the game schedule because there’s A LOT of football before PSU plays at 8 p.m.
