Great catch

It blows my mind we didn't get a capable backup in the offseason

Oh wait, we have an RB?

A completion!

He moved away.

I hope someone tells Latham straight up he gave them that touchdown. It's on him.

Thanks Latham

Slacken berg!

Are you finding a problem in our pass game?

He did improve a ton. But he played like a 5th string QB last year. He didn't improve to like a good quarterback.

Who doesn't love Puntweek?

Our defense can score!

Zander is still not good.

I can't believe it took this long to get a thread.   The CrimsonCast from today has the two Penn State guys from SB Nation on and they try to convince the Indiana host they will lose while he does the same. This game is either going to be amazing or a total crapshow.

Taped without her consent then?

I've said it before. Get a couple early sacks on Sackenberg and he will be too spooked the rest of the game to be a threat.

Ah yes, 5 pm on a Friday. When all the good news is released.

Defense? Who is that?   I've been watching this team for a really long time and I've never heard of him. Has he been redshirted? Has anyone ever told him his name sounds a lot like "Offense"?

I'm just going to add picks for every possible situation.   If Suds throws more than zero but fewer than three interceptions...   If we punt at the end of our first drive...   If we score a field goal before we score a touchdown...   If we have an odd number of rushing yards...

The CrimsonCast today had a really nice preview of the game with the people from PSU's SB Nation. Tons of interesting stuff I didn't know before about PSU injuries and they apparently really want Kevin Wilson as Offensive Coordinator so they want to beat us so we fire him. Good talk about Tom Crean at the end too.   If anyone has podcast suggestions, I'm open. CrimsonCast is the only one that seems to deal with Indiana Football. 

Do you have a pick for just one of them too?

I have absolutely nothing to say about the game. I mean, nothing that doesn't have to do with volleyball shorts.   But, I really like how you put the score in the thread title after the game. I think we should all strive to do that in our non-marquee sports threads, since it's not like they get a post-game thread.

If we can get 2 sacks on Sackenberg in the first half we win this game. Hackenberg has been really harmed by the injuries in his OL, he has started to show the signs of breaking. He panics early and sees some phantom pressure, so shaking him up will really pay dividends.   On the other hand, I feel bad. He is an NFL first or second round quality quarterback, and unless PSU gets a healthy line in front of him he's probably going to ruin his professional career.   They don't expect to have either RB1 or RB2 playing, but they also have no idea because they don't get injury updates. But, they don't really need to use the ground against us, we're like the worst pass protectors.   It's going to be either a great game or an absolutely horrible one like last year. It's tough to know which until we see who is walking onto the field, but man I hope we get this win.

And Ohio State is playing on BTN.   This feels like justice.

Did he screw up the recruiting base or did we not have to change anything? Aren't those contrary statements?   And, hopefully, Wisco doesn't change their recruiting strategy so you can see firsthand the problem with trying to recruit locally for a nationwide game.   Where do I agree with you exactly? I'll happily concede points and don't need to step away. Being able to calmly discuss things with people who inexplicably believe they have a leg to stand on without providing any evidence to support their points and dodging around things they can't handle is literally my job.   So, please, lay out your plan for us to be "fine" only recruiting the midwest. Which recruits do you think we would get that we didn't? Why do you think that for each recruit? How much effort did the staff put into the recruits? Why or why not did the recruit choose to attend the school they chose? You can limit it just to a few years if it would help you. I'm fascinated to find out what we would be doing for a big man this year.
