Am I missing anyone ?
Major props on the Robert McNamara reference!Thoughts: I hate Michigan, Bo and his five finger doctor, their smuga$$ fans who routinely know nothing about college football, their overrated history, their half a championship in the modern age, Ann Arbor, Robert McNamara, their weather, their towns, their uniforms, did I mention their smuga$$ness?, their crappy stadium, the overblown rivalry with O$U, their booger eating coach, Gerald Ford, Mushmouf and Mrs. Mushmouf and their somnolent offense (wake me up when our game with them is over) and their alumni whom I would never hire due to their smugga$$ness.
That sums up my early thoughts @Midnighter. I'll be back later to tell you how I really feel.
Is this true?
Oh I remember that part as I was a sophomore at that time. It's the other part that's astonishing. Almost 30 years since our last road victory over a top 5 team?Yep. Remember it well. The big difference IMO was Penn State was ranked #3 already and may have been slight favorites vs #5 Michigan (in any case it was considered an even game headed in to it). It was a good, hard fought game against a very good scUM team. It took our stars showing up big time
Kijana Carter finished with 165 yards on 26 carries, while Kerry Collins turned in a 20-32, 231 yards and three touchdown performance. Defense played one of its best games. EDIT: the win propelled Penn State to #1 in the country that week.
We do that to everyone. DBs are left in one on one coverageStack the box, stop the run and make them pass lots.
PSU defense hasn't faced a good power running team.Two things travel very well: Running game and defense. Penn State so far has had both this season.
"harbaugh’s not the worry, neither is the whole michigan team. I know their tactics, I have the advantage. The worry is the referees. If we meet the right sort, then this will work. We get some... referine...?"

You still have James Franklin as your head coach. LOL"harbaugh’s not the worry, neither is the whole michigan team. I know their tactics, I have the advantage. The worry is the referees. If we meet the right sort, then this will work. We get some... referine...?"
There is very little to suggest PSU even has a chance in this game. AA is a house of horrors for Franklion. Heck, the state of Michigan is. But this is college football and just when you start thinking no way is exactly when they find a way to victory. My bet is to lay it all on PSU, no matter the spread, and under 50 as I see a 24-21 type of game.Anything can happen in college football, but Michigan is better at just about every position, and they are at home. The spread seems about right.
I think we all remember that game well. IMHO we were a lot better than UMich that year. we had far superior talent and an OFF that could not be stopped by UMich or the refs.Yep. Remember it well.

IND QB has very little time to throw and there's no running room between the tackles. PSU needs quick pass plays and Clifford has to avoid TOs.I’d like to see more first down pass attempts in this game. I think it’s vital for Clifford’s success to throw on run downs. Maybe get more vanilla zone defenses on first down for him to work with.

Michigan does have a gnarly pass rush. The IU quarterback looked pretty overwhelmed in what I saw (about one quarter’s worth, in total).That's a very beatable Michigan team.

We might not either unless we can bounce it outside.IU had barely a running game.
