We don’t have a QB so.....

With that said. I’ve been in Orlando all week going to the parks and I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me and wished me luck because they hate Penn State. All slew of random fans coming up to tell me just how much Penn State sucks. I even had an OSU fan come up and say he’s rooting for us because he can’t stand them now. It’s been odd

Now that went a little far.

My guess would be PSU wins 20-10 or something like that. I don't think either offense will be good, but Michigan's offense will be so bad that it will help lead to some success for Penn State(good field position, turnovers, quick 3 and outs etc..)

A lot of OSU fans will tell you there is a healthy rivalry with Michigan.

A lot of those same fans will tell you there is a different hatred for PSU that isn't so much about on the field play, as it is with the culture of some of the PSU fans (not all of them).

I will tell you as painful as it is I am rooting for Michigan for purely selfish reasons. We already own the head to head with Michigan so we could survive a loss to Penn State and still win the division with a huge upset win @ Ohio State the following week (assuming Ohio State beats Penn State). If OSU, MSU, and PSU all tie at 8-1, I don't think the tie breakers are going to favor MSU.

I'm not sure how they work, but if that scenario plays out, my guess would be PSU gets the nod simply because they'd have the best overall record at 11-1.

That's way far down the line. I'm not sure if CFP ranking is ahead of that or not.

Penn State by 10, hopefully more. Our defense will be playing lights out; they aren't over what happened last season. Oline is the main concern, and FG issues.

The atmosphere is going to be fucking insane and I can't wait.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

PSU 46-3

The game is at Penn St, it's at night and I believe the one true advantage Penn St has other than being at home is their O is better than Michigan's O. Penn St by 7 would be my guess.

Give me the points and Jimmy Jam!

If Penn State doesn't win by 20+ points, something will have gone terribly wrong.

Avatar bet. If MI wins, you put your leather pants avi back up until the end of the season.

If PSU wins, you put it back up for a whole year.

Easy there, Harvey

Why not Clooney? At least he's not a slob.

That's a stupid bet, either way she's the one changing the avatar. Wait...nevermind

 

[Chewbaccer]

Makes me a little sick to say, but this will be the second game of the season that I will be pulling for Michigan, but I think they get beat by 2+ scores.

 

[NolePride]

Mich trounced Penn St last year. PSU will remember that.

No offense dooms Michigan

Local radio talking like this is a must W for Harbaugh. Natives getting restless.
