The Lions' Pride

If this scenario would actually happen, how many people here would have confidence that Ficken makes the extra point? Not me.

Two points:

(1) A lot of the Buckeye commenters have pointed to MSU as having a defense comparable to ours (or better, whatever), then say we haven't played anyone with an offense. If we're playing that game, a spread running team we held to 247 yards put up over 700 against a common opponent. The Buckeyes did not put up 700.

(2) To the point that the PSU posters have made about how much more opportunistic our D is compared to MSU's... It's incredible how highly we rank given that we don't yet have a DB interception. That really doesn't play into the debate too clearly, but it really is impressive that we're basically creating fumbles and our LBs are getting the takeaways. I dunno, but given the softness of Miller*, I'd be surprised if the ball doesn't wind up on the ground several times when OSU is on offense.

* This isn't up for debate. The kid constantly goes out, much like Denard before he figured out that he shouldn't take hits every play. If you want to talk tough running QB, MRob. But Miller is soft, and will likely be made softer this weekend.

Score: 34-21 PSU
MVP: MM both O& D
Interesting Stat Line: Time of Possession - PSU 39 min. to OSU 21 min.
Off the Wall Prediction: OSU doesn't score a TD until the 2nd half

PSU up 21-6 at the half. OSU converts a 2pt PAT in the 4th to close the gap.

In the Redzone, would love to see Belton lined up in the backfield only to get the ball and throw it for a TD.

Of course I'm sure OSU knows about Belton's QB skills from the wildcat last year.

We are on the same page ...

PSU 34, OSU 24
MVP: Carter
Interesting Stat Line: Tight Ends for PSU will have a combined 200 yards receiving
Off the Wall Prediction: OSU will get a touchdown via a blocked punt or a KO return

Methinks brutus is channeling the ghost of Christmas future! Seems he is predicting OSU to turn it over 3 times in psu territory!

lol, nice catch psufankc63, nice catch!!!!!!

seriously, good luck saturday!....hope it's a great, fair game with no injuries...

we (ineligible) guys need to stick together...

right back at ya!!!!

hope you guys weather this storm (the sanctions) and get back to normality asap...

this buckeye fan is proud to have you folks in the big ten, dont let the comments/actions of a few tools get ya down....

PENN STATE (never have responded to the "we are" before, but i support you folks)

it usually is....

i have been watching psu for a looong time....

my wife's family is from harrisburg and my uncle is a HUGE psu fan, we have always got together for the osu/psu game....

sadly, i lost my fave uncle this july and my mother in law (loved psu to death) a few yrs ago...so this game has big meaning to me (outside football)....and then the stuff with paterno, sandusky etc...tragic situation, however, the fans and players of psu have shown great resolve and will heal....

Score: PSU 35, OSU 21
MVP: Bill Belton
Interesting Stat Line: We dominate the time of possession again, almost a 2 to 1 clip
Off the wall prediction: We return a KO for a TD

Pretty much every prediction you make on these boards is wrong. You should try a George Constanza method and pick the polar opposite of what your instincts and gut tell you. 34-24 TOSU is a solid pick.

Score: 31-21PSU
MVP: Mauti & Robinson
Interesting Stat Line: Mcgloin 3 rushes 25 yards and a key touchdown late to put the game out of reach.
Off the Wall Prediction: Either a Td or safety off Miller Fumble
