Michigan and Penn State

[purduepat1969]

Goodness sakes. If I were a Michigan fan, I'd lose all hope. This was supposed to be their year and they look completely incompetent at Happy Valley. Unbelievable waste of talent. Sooner or later, they're going to lose patience with Harbaugh in Ann Arbor...

no surprise here, I predicted 41-14 psu. UM had trouble scoring vs iowa and got manhandled by Wisky.

Patterson is terrible.

Patterson is terrible.

In all fairness, Harbaugh does a horrific job in developing QB talent. He definitely doesn't put them in a position to succeed.

Well he did develop Andrew Luck

In spite of Harbaugh...

Also got magic from Colin Kaepernick

Or did David Shaw?

I wouldn't call that "magic". Who's he playing for now?

I would say getting to the SB pretty much amazing.

would help if his so called wr's could hold onto easy td passes.

Penn State might be the most under rated team in CFB.

Where would you rank them?

Where would you rank them?

You know, that's the problem for those who rank for a living. I honestly believe they're as good or better than several teams ahead of them, but those guys aren't losing. I'd put them over Oklahoma, I think they are as good as Ohio State, and since I believe LSU is over-ranked, I'd put them in a tie for 3rd

I think that OSU and PSU game will be a slugfest but I'd predict PSU the winner.

They were lucky to beat Michigan and glad they did. I don't think their lines on both side of the ball are good enough to beat OSU. They will get hammered if the game is in Columbus this year I believe. So we disagree that's why they play the game.

VegasInsider lists OSU as 4:1 to win the NC, with PSU at 25:1.

OSU's schedule sets up nicely. With 5 games remaining, they have UW and PSU at home, and UM on the road.

 

[FirstDownB]

Michigan dropped an easy touchdown pass at the end that would have tied the game. Not exactly a blowout.

Ohio State will destroy PSU and it won't even be close. It's at the horseshoe. And you can bet Ohio State will be hungry for the playoffs.

If UM goes 8-4 is Har-blow safe?

 

[purduepat1969]

Penn State might be the most under rated team in CFB.

They're #6 and I'm not sure they should be that high (only because they're undefeated, which BTW, so is Minnesota). They struggled against Iowa, Pitt, and were a dropped pass away from a tie game at home with Michigan. They're a good team. But by no means whatsoever should they be in the conversation as a playoff team. Too many struggles offensively against good defenses, Iowa being one of them, and the 2nd half Michigan team the other.

Too big of a buyout even for Michigan. But if they do the same next year, he is absolutely in trouble.

I hope they keep him for a long time. He is what 1-10 against top ten opponents. That's gotta be worth his 9 million a year salary.

I hope your right, but they looked pretty pedestrian against Iowa.
