Worried about Purdue. Franklin is 1-8 on the road and he's never faced them. It's kind of the opposite of last week except the Boilers are freerolling us this time, esepcially with their interim coach situation.

Got hooked up with some free tickets for Iowa though

Still can't get over how well Penn State manhandled Ohio State's offensive line. Felt like they were in 3rd and 8 the whole game. I don't know if Penn State will cover the -13.5 spread cuz this really is a classic letdown game but they should be fine. They look so much better since the Michigan game. McSorley can really play.

My question is this. Should Penn State run the table and finish 10-2 (this is a real possibility), and say Michigan runs the table and beats some 2 loss team in the Big Ten Championship game. Also, say Ohio State only loses to Michigan the rest of the way. Who will the Rose Bowl take? They're not accepting a 3 loss team from the Championship game, so it's between 10-2 Ohio State and and 10-2 Penn State.

I think Penn State should go, but will they?

Not sure how ESPN's power rankings are, but they only give us a 25% chance of winning out.

I am also not worried about Rutgers or Purdue. PSU seemed to turn the corner defensively in the Maryland game this season, so the major worries are Iowa and @Indiana. MSU could be a concern, but probably not at home.

PSU fans are holding out hope for the 5% chance of going to the Champ game ourselves!
UM drops 1 they shouldn't + 1 to OSU
PSU wins out and gets the tie breaker vs. OSU.

25% is a pretty big chunk of equity. If that estimate was accurate I would be ok with that if I were a Penn State fan. I suspect it's higher but given how much I've damaged my net worth based on my suspicions, I certainly wouldn't take my opinion seriously. Either way, this season just got a lot more exciting.

Dude. It's over. With the NFL talent, all the veterans, and HARBAUGH this team is literally upset proof. Next year gonna be way more dicey given how many players we're losing.

That was a vintage PSU second half. Onto the next one. Another night game at the Beav and I'll be there!

Don't expect to be playing against our fourth string linebackers next year at the Beav

But yeah, great second half overall... although even the likes of Iowa and Maryland were able to drop 50 on that defense.

PSU now up to 36% to win out. Getting by Iowa in the white out should move the win-out scenario to more likely than not.

I'm not up to speed on your recruiting/returning starters situation, but with all the players Michigan loses this year I'm gonna assume for now that we'll be an underdog at Penn State next year.

PSU is returning most of the starters from this year. From yesterday's starters we're losing
2 OL (one of these guys is only in due to injury of underclassman)
1 DE
1 LB
1 Saf

Returning 9 on offense and 8 on defense should result in a decent team, but still not the same talent level as OSU.
