We also ended up down 8 starters on defense by second quarter, had not accounted for that.

You can't predict injuries I agree especially 8 mostly on D

While we are reliving predictipns from last year....I'll say I had more right on this one....someone thought I was crazy for predicting more than 7 wins and thinking Franklin seat was not even warm....

1) 7-5 (LBU will say 10-2 LOL)
2) Chris Godwin
3) Nyeem Wartman- White
4) Boobie Miles
5) Yes but wont in 2018

And I am very glad I was wrong

Interesting tidbit, for first time since 2008 PSU has exhausted their supply of season tickets. 95% renewal and over 9k new season ticket holders (including your's truly in with a pair in section SBU) Will really be #107kStrong this year

Coaches poll out, PSU comes in at #6

Now let's get the student section to arrive sooner

I wanted Michigan to dominate Indiana not take them to OT so maybe they would be ranked higher when we play them next week. They sit at #17 and I predict move to #14 we should be #2 with Clemson losing. My Buckeye friend thinks PSU will win because Barrett sucks and so does their secondary but I just dont see us going into the Shoe after beating them last year and have them not fired up and playing exceptional against us. Can McSorely hit his targets when the D loads the box against Barkley and tries to sack him if he has the ball. A pressured McSorely worries me.

Yeah, they have the narrative setting up to get 2 SEC teams in and screw us...if OSU beats us, you watch ESPN start telling you how great the B1G is again.

Good call on Washingtin, what an asshat. Georgia gave up 28 to a horrible Missouri team.

Well, we have a Friday night game in 2018. Our game at Illinois has been moved to Friday night. Only plus I see is an extra day of prep and healing before we play the Bucknuts at home the following week

Sam Ficken is not having a good NFL start 0-2 in FG's today. Kickers normally get 1 chance to impress and this isn't helping.

Correction: 0 for 1, 3 for 4 on extra points. Either way, not a good start to an NFL career, hopefully he turns it around like he did here.

Oh didn’t help heard 0-2 on NFL Redzone must have missed the extra pt then the FG back to back.

yeah, he finally got a break and shit the bed

He was perfect yesterday in the playoff game but team still lost. Hope he makes a team next year. I like to root for the NFL teams with PSU alum on them in the playoffs. Makes us look better if we can get a super bowl ring. Today I am rooting for Jags (Poz & IR - Allen Robinson) vs Bills who have no PSU alum. Then at 4pm rooting for Saints who has the line-backing core of Mauti, Hodges, Stupar vs Panthers who have no players.

Well, we officially finished at #8 in both polls.

Some odds out for next year, Vegas has PSU at 12/1 for National title....6th best odds overall.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Well, we officially finished at #8 in both polls.

OSU 2 loses combined pts 46pts and they are #5
Wisc only 1 loss for 6pts and they are #7
PSU 2 losses combined 4pts and we are #8


I just don't understand why OSU gets so much love and we get so much hate. After the Sandusky incident we have had a black mark against us I fell from voters. I actually feel if we won the Big10 like OSU did we still wouldn't have made the playoffs.
