PSU has been completely underwhelming so far this year against three pathetic opponents. They need to show up this week and prove they're for real. I'm not sold on them.
ReplyDeleteYeah im afraid they are not close to being as good as last years team. Maybe they can turn it up this week.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to get yourself up for games against Akron and Temple. Once the Big Ten starts, they'll be okay.
ReplyDeleteThis is a redemption game from last year so I see PSU winning by at least 21 pts.
But more importantly...
Go Irish!!!
Agree they will be ok - but not sure they will be Top 5 in country ok. I think Royster runs wild against Iowa.
