"...they must take this game as serious as a bowl game." So half the players will opt out to get ready for the draft. Bowl games have not been serious for a long time.
Seems like conference championships are headed that way also, it's not the big prize.

Does this Saturday’s game against the gofers concern you? We know what happened the last time we played there. 😞 OBVIOUSLY. o_O , there is a lot more at stake this time around.

By all accounts, PSU should win this game, but MINNY. o_O isn’t horrible. They’re at home, and a win over PSU would make their season, and ruin ours. The gofers should be plenty pumped.

How do you see it?
Let's cut to the chase ...

Penn State's offense is better than Minnesota's offense ...
Penn State's defense is better than Minnesota's defense ...

Ergo, Penn State will win.

I don’t get it.
Because CJF is going full 4D chess this game.

When Minnesota is on offense, he will send out our offense.
When Minnesota is on defense, he will send out our defense.

How can you be so stupid not to consider that type of game plan?;)

Yes. If they lose they're out since only SEC can have two loss entries

In all seriousness, if Tyler Warren were to line up at DE, he'd probably make the All-B1G Team.

I think Michigan and Illinois have good defenses.

Brosmer threw for 258 yds against Michigan and Minny scored 24 pts.
Brosmer threw for 213 yds against Illinois and Minny scored 25 pts.

Minnesota is only allowing 17.7 pts per game. I expect PSU to do a little better than that but I think the defense has to hold Minny to 20 pts to be safe.
Illinois is giving up 215 passing yards a game.
Michigan is giving up 232 passing yards a game.
PSU is giving up 174 yards a game in the air and 98 on the ground. The only reason it’s that high is because of garbage time plays.

PSU’s defense is the best Minnesota will have seen when it’s over. It’s not even close.

A very wise man once said," It ain't over until it's over."
Let me be the first to say....that should PSU be upset.........It will be 100% the fault of James Franklin!

Looks like it will around 30F with only a 5 MPH wind at game time. Not bad for almost December. Should not be a factor. Think if we were UCLA or USC. Hopefully they have heaters on the sideline Joe would have said no.

The past is just that -- the past. Let's become 1 and 0 on Saturday. Go State; beat Gophers.

My Father told me back when I was in HS, don't worry about the past. Only worry about things to can control. You cannot control the past, it's done. You have control of the present and the future. So yeah PSU1969A, let's be 1-0 on Saturday.

Another gimme win from Penn State’s weak 2024 schedule. Minnesota poses no threat to Penn State.

The only way this game will be close is if there are Penn State coaching blunders like going on 4th down deep in Penn State’s territory early in the game.
And when has that happened this year? Penn State’s schedule is ranked 32nd and better than Oregon’s “sunshine”.

Pro-tip! Place cardboard under your bum, and feet. Also bring hot packs! This will come in handy during your play-off game as well. Of course this is assuming the game will still be in question past mid 3rd quarter. Visitors side gets sun so you'll be fine till sunset.

If we keep them under 100 yards rushing and don’t give them a gift TD we win by 14

this is the key. we will know quickly how we defend their run. if we hold the line on this, then we will be in good shape. I have only heard people say Penn State is much better as a team and players than Minny. That was true also when they were lucky to beat us in the past.

A lot of national pundits are picking Minny to beat the spread or to win outright. They think Penn State is overrated. If on the off chance Penn State dominates this game, all those same pundits will downplay Penn State. You can book it.
