    Could be Jiffy, could be....they looked like the real deal for sure and appear to be the class of the Big 10. I fully expect them to be favored when they come to Columbus in two weeks....a place they have not won since 1978.

    I must admit I thought Penn State was over rated early on, but they certainly look like winners now!

    Aw, heck...he's got another 10 years left in him minimum.

    Then they'll take him to a taxidermist and stuff him and mount him in the coach's box.

    Very big win for PSU. While after 2 straight losses I wondered if Wisc might be out of gas and it certainly looked like it. Looks like the game in Columbus will be the B10 game of the year.

    not so fast my friend.....we've first got to get by a very good Sparty team up in E. Lansing...after our offensive showing this past weekend, I expect them to be favored.

    Young Pryor has shown more flashes of being a freshman than he has had of brilliance the last two games. This is really an offensive struggling to find an identity..... they have looked very poor the last two outings. Timing off, no rhythm, mistakes of youth and poor decisions at QB, Oline out of synch with the backs, backs out of synch with the QB, QB and WR not even close......I have no doubt they will be fine in time, but we might just get our a$$es kicked before they come around....

    Stu hit the nail on the head earlier this year I believe about this very issue.....installing a new system of the fly during the season is very, very difficult and right now they are in the ugly part of making the sausage..... they surely look the part. I trust Coach T's judgement, but I'm certain he believed they would be farther along at this point than they are....

    We'll be underdogs the next two weeks and deservedly so....defense is going to have to play lights out to keep us in these ballgames.
