Penn State wins, Iowa does too ! thumbnail

It was a turbulent weekend in college football.  But, as expected,  Daryl Clark fired 4 touchdowns to lead the Lions to an impressive win, and, in addition,  Iowa surprised many in college football by winning a critical game against Michigan State.  Right now 3 teams in the big ten are ranked in the top 25.

Early loss better than 2008 late loss thumbnail

Everyone agrees the Nittany Lions have an easy schedule this year.  So far they lost their one true challenge to the team that owns them recently, the dreaded Iowa Hawkeyes.
But after getting beaten for the 7th time in their last 8 meetings, Penn State is looking only one direction, and it isn’t backward.  They proved [...]

Tomorrows contest will likely prove one of the three true challenges to the Lions this season, at least until their bowl game.  With the exception of Michigan and Ohio State, both ranked conference foes, no other team has a better chance of beating the Lions.  Iowa is well aware of this, bringing a 6-1 record [...]

Detractors mention the Lions have an easy schedule this year, but there is nothing Penn State can do except go out there each week and win.  I said before Paterno is not the type to run it up as many [...]

Daryll Clark had another solid start and ran his quarterback rating to a gaudy 166.4 with a win against Syracuse.  The rebuilding  Orangemen really never stood a chance.
The Lions allowed a lone touchdown, just as they did in week 1 against Akron.  This game was a lot more lopsided than this final score represents given [...]

Lions get expected win to start season thumbnail

The Nittany Lions first game yesterday was reminiscent of many of their games in recent years.  They came out with a dominating offense, passed the ball to set up the run, and ran the ball to set the pass back up, and got a huge lead by halftime.  Then they called in the rest of [...]

Philadelphia football fans, don’t overlook Temple !!
I know that isn’t something you are accustomed to hearing but, if not for a hail mary and a fumble return in the final minutes, this is a team that would have been bowl bound last year.  I know 5-7 is mediocre at best when compared to the 1 [...]
