Statement? What statement can you make beating a team that lost to RU?
Yeah, I know. We saw that last year, unless Clifford is strapped to a hospital bed, Big Game James will start him.
Starting with 94… when their damn garbage time points made it look like it was actually a close game and we could never rise above #2 in the polls after that.
Well the real problem was that PSU dropped from #1 to #2 the week that they beat OSU 63-14 (and the game wasn't that close) and Nebraska beat (can't remember if it was Oklahoma or Texas). It was clear that the voters were going to move the winner of the latter game especially if it was Nebraska to #1 regardless of what Penn State did. Given those circumstances, it wouldn't have mattered if Penn State beat Indiana by 50.Starting with 94… when their damn garbage time points made it look like it was actually a close game and we could never rise above #2 in the polls after that.
I remember my (now ex-) wife thinking I was crazy to be pissed off when PSU had just beaten Indiana. I knew exactly what was going to happen. Still steamed about it to this day!
#3 Nebraska beat #2 Colorado 24-7 and moved to #1 in the AP poll. PSU was still ranked #1 in the coaches' poll. After the Indiana game the following week, PSU moved down to #2 in the coaches' poll. Hard to say if both polls would have stayed the same the rest of the season, but if not for that fluke PSU and Nebraska might have been co-national champions.
Wasn't that the 5th down game as well? Lots of weird quirks that year that worked against us.
Something to hope for. I would be able to swim in the fanboy tears for an entire week! It's a slow time of the year for me, so I need some entertainment. Polishing up my 9 more years cheer!Maybe we go to Bloomington and get an A$$. BEATING.. One can only hope.
As opposed the the BWICAC....no game no name every solutionAll Name, No Game
And I am looking for 9 more years of your asinine comments and whining.
I'll be the judge of that. Send your resume and please include how many games you've watched on TV and how many beers you can pound down from kickoff to final whistle.
Probably, Especially given his affinity for *** beatings and high colonics
I'm really curious to see what kind of product Franklin puts on the field in Bloomington.
It's going to be wet and windy (but warm). The weather may not lend itself to us throwing the ball all over the place, but perfect conditions for us to run all over them. Since they don't have much of a passing game even in good conditions, we'll be able to shut down their running game without too much of a problem. We easily cover the 14, wouldn't be surprised if we win by 21+.I'm really curious to see what kind of product Franklin puts on the field in Bloomington.
Indiana is coming off a bye week so I expect numerous trick plays out of that devious buck-toothed Tom Allen, especially when their 2nd string QB enters the ball game. IU lost a key WR to injury and it's good that Penix transferred because his passing skills repeatedly exposed PSU's vulnerability in the middle of the field.
14 points seems like too many to me...8-9 seems more appropriate, but who knows.
I do think that PSU will be the benefactor of some decent officiating this week (and hopefully down the stretch) because the B1G needs PSU to participate in a semi-major bowl to help fund the conference coffers and prestige. Right now the B1G has OSU, Michigan and likely Illinois bringing home the post-season bacon.

Fresh off bye week, Indiana football faced with Camper injury, more quarterback decisions
After five consecutive losses, Indiana sits at 3-5 with four games left this season.
QB is up in the air.
Best defender may or may not play (LB).
Primary WR is out with an ACL.
Thinking we see what they did to Michigan and what Michigan did to us type of fronts.
This should be an ease up after defending Buckeye WRs last week. Don't think they can go 4 quarters. Expect this to flow similarly to Minnesota game.
