Whew!!!

Just win baby. I don't know about you guys but games like this are tough on the old ticker and my nervous system.
You couldn’t have pulled a needle out of my *** with a tractor.
Brutal. Trying to give a gift to the Gopher seniors. My god let’s make this hard. On defense the tackling was atrocious! Worst I’ve seen all year. ST we’re not complimentary today! Kudos to the OL for owning the second half. And the bronze game ball goes to Franklin for finally going for it… he’s got grapefruits!
he probably thought "eh, what's the worst that can happen if it doesn't work? people ***** and cry about me? that already happens anyway!"
I laugh thinking back to the Bowling Green game, and how many in that game thread were convinced that winning by such a small margin would really hurt us in the late season rankings. Has a single pundit, committee member, or anyone here made a single mention of it in the past month? (Plus the fact that BG is quietly putting together a good season)
I mean, Ohio St is likely the best team in the country, and they didn’t slaughter us
Possible, I'm sure. Wonder if Ole Miss would've taken a 1-point win vs. 4-6 Florida? BYU vs. Arizona State? Colorado vs. 4-6 Kansas? Wonder how Alabama fans are feeling at the moment against 5-5 Oklahoma? Granted, long way to go in that one.
Whew is right because there are historical reasons burnt into the living memory of us that get a number of us nervous about games against Minnesota. Coming into today, PSU’s record against the Golden Gophers when PSU is ranked in the top 4 was only 1-2.
In 1997, #1 PSU beat Minnesota.
In 1999, #2 PSU lost to Minnesota.
In 2019, #4 PSU lost to Minnesota.
Thankfully, we evened up the record today.

No one would ever mention 1 game from September as a reason to ding a team in late November. However, many on ESPN and elsewhere have complained that PSU was ranked too high before the Minnesota game. This game isn’t going to help with that.
There’s already talk on the late night game halftime shows that PSU should drop with at least Notre Dame jumping them. If that happens, that would put PSU at a 7 seed. The other upsets today will likely keep PSU from falling very far. Hit seed 9 and you lose the home game.
Close win over 7-4 BGSU
Overtime win over 5-5 USC
1 pt win over 6-5 MINN
Zero offensive TDs vs OSU
PSU is 10-1 but they haven't been dominant like you'd expect from a top 4 team. ND beat #19 Army 49-14. That WAS dominant like you would expect from a top 5 team.

ND lost to Northern Illinois. The end of that debate.
Penn State isn't a juggernaut this year and has a performace ceiling against good/playoff teams due to lack of WR talent but an 11-1 Penn State gets a home game no question.
Absolutely idiotic post. Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois which isn’t even going to win the MAC and is going to jump Penn State because they beat up a clearly overmatched Army team. Get a clue.
If you think Army was the 19th best team in the country, then you believe Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real too. Watched the first 10 minutes of the game and it looked like men playing against boys from a physical perspective.
