/dev/null Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 I'll eat some crow for my post following the Northwestern game. First time in a long time Penn State has dominated a decent team like they did today. Don't rejoice yet though Penn State fans, the schedule looks brutal down the stretch. 460719[/snapback] yeah i know better than to let it get to my head. but damn it feels good to see my beloved Nittany Lions at 5-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Penn State May win one or two more. I'd like to like Penn State, but Paterno has kept the team in the dark ages. They just aren't competitve with the cream of the college teams, and they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren't competitve with the cream of the college teams, and they should be. 460811[/snapback] I got a chance to watch them the last few weeks, and while I know it's gotten bad with Joe P. over the years I thought they had some creative play calling in the last two. In both games they hit on big reverses and did a great job mixing it up. If they can ever match up those freshman WR's with a great arm this team could be competing for the big ten title in the near future. That is of course if the play calling continues to come from this decade. BTW I also don't see Penn State winning many more, not against Michigan, Ohio State, or Michigan State at least. The Big Ten is riddled with quality teams this year that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bunch of losers in your book, so whatever good they do only improves their standing Texas on the other hand NEEDS to do better, or nobody will remember them. At least with the Bills 4 Super Bowl losses, everybody knows they were there. Texas on the other hand may end up being yet another pretender to challange USCs claim on the National Title but try again if you like. i'm 11/12th of the way into my case of Killians. At this point all your base are belong to me. Maybe the 12th time is the charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 in 2010 nobody else will remember who finished #2 behind USC in 2005 USC hasn't played a Top10 team in about 3 years. As soon as they do we're probably going to see a repeat of them getting their ass handed to them just like we saw when the 'Canes finally had to play a Top10 team like Ohio State for the first time in 3 years.

CBusBillsFan Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 PSU hasn't seen a D even close to that of OSU yet. The speed of the LBs and the D line is going put a lot of pressure on Robinson. Let’s see how he does when he doesn't have all day to throw the ball and the CBs aren't giving 10 yard cushions. P.S. I am really, really pumped for this game, it is going to be incredible. I am excited to be a part of the PSU atmosphere everyone is always talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you say something, it doesn't make it true. The following are AP rankings of both teams at the time the game was played- 2005-This year, according to you, the conference road wins (45-13 at #23 Oregon and 38-28 at #14 Arizona State) don't mean much because they weren't Top 10. So let's take a look at the last three years: 2004 (since you said top 10, I'll leave out the 45-7 thrashing of #15 Arizona St.)- #1 USC 24 #9 Virginia Tech 13 #1 USC 23 #7 Cal 17 #1 USC 55 #2 Oklahoma 19 *Orange Bowl 2003- #8 USC 23 #10 Auburn 0 #2 USC 28 #4 Michigan 14 *Rose Bowl 2002 #6 USC 44 #7 Notre Dame 13 #5 USC 38 #3 Iowa 17 *Orange Bowl That appears to be 7-0 vs. Top 10 teams in the last three years, including 3-0 in BCS Bowl Games. Nice post, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 PSU hasn't seen a D even close to that of OSU yet. The speed of the LBs and the D line is going put a lot of pressure on Robinson.

I am excited to be a part of the PSU atmosphere everyone is always talking about. 461847[/snapback] I love the 5-0 start, but I don't have a ton of faith in Robinson as a playmaking QB just yet. This will be a very tough test for him. If he does well, I'll start to believe a lot more. BTW, if OSU's corners decide to press cover Williams, it would be a mistake. I'm not so sure Tressel wants to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
