Probably should be 0-4.
Be honest... who would you put money on in a Pitt vs YSU rematch?
IOWA could make this day a little better

Most dynamite player in the country. Seems like he's gonna score every time he touches it.
I hate PSU with my entire soul, but that was an amazing football game.
I know you Dave. You know me.
We are good people, as are our wives. We are good parents to our kids.
What did we do to deserve this?
I said the same thing. As a fan, I was hoping he would get tackled because I thought Iowa's best chance to win would have been on a walk-off FG there. I mean you cant ask a player in advance to fall down but when he scored, I felt Iowa lost.
According to ESPN, before the ball was snapped on that Iowa TD, they had an 89.6% chance to win (because they were approaching walk-off FG range). After the TD, it only went up to 93.1. I mean sure those are great odds but falling down at the 15 probably gives you a 98% chance to win.
They are going to make the CFP but they won't beat Alabama or Clemson or Oklahoma.
Give Penn State credit. Iowa plays hard and is well coached but they dont have a ton of talent. PSU cant stack up to truly elite teams but the fact that there is a PROBABILITY of them going to the CFP is pretty sickening.
I blame my Father, and I'm just now realizing the consequences of indoctrinating my kids into Pitt fandom. Basically child abuse.
But hey, I've got 11 new basketball players to look forward to in a month..
Trying to put objectivity aside, PSU may win the Big10 because the conference is so bad (and in turn make the playoff), but they are not going to stand a chance against Alabama or Clemson (even an Oklahoma and a few others could knock them off). I dont think they have looked like a playoff team all season. They gutted it out today, and barely snuck by.
Unlike Capeletti, Ki-Jana, Blair Thomas and many other Penn State NFL running back flops, he is pretty fail proof. He does things that I have never seen a running back do before.
In other news, Michigan State's run appears over for certain. Getting its doors blown off at home to ND.
We'll see. If they get in the playoff, they'll avoid Bama till the finals. (If they run the table they won't be 4th). I think they could beat anyone else, and then who knows.
Their best shot at losing might be Paul Chryst in the finals. I think they'll win in Columbus.
wonder when Danantonio's seat gets hot? I think it at least has to be starting to heat
Iowa really just isn't that good. Still love Kirk ferentz though. Can't lie how amazing it would've been to have a guy like ferentz here for all of these past 15-20 years.
Cmon man, the only way they make the playoff is if they are clearly superior to OSU and Michigan. Those 2 are always going to get chosen over a similar Penn St team.
There's a reason why the odds to win the title are much shorter on Ohio st with a loss than an undefeated Penn St.
They'll be a slight favorite at OSU but OSU could definitely win that game. It may end up being meaningless though because if they lose and go 8-1, they still win East if OSU loses in Ann Arbor and another.
I am not sure I've ever seen a better all-around college RB.
I think he is talking about being a complete back... blocking, recieving, the whole package.
It's hard to say. I thought Cook from FSU was pretty special last year.
Penn st will not be a slight favorite at OSU. The line would be OSU minus 2 or 3
I hate PSU as much as anyone, and find their alums/fans to put football above the welfare of children. But Ki-Jana Carter tore his ACL on the third carry of his first preseason game. He was never anything close to the same after that. No player is "fail proof," especially when it comes to trying to come back from a torn ACL. I say that as someone who has torn an ACL and has had reconstructive knee surgery in my life.
I am going to expose myself as an old guy here, but Barry Sanders at Oklahoma St. was like nothing I have ever seen in a college player. In 1988, he had 2,850 yards and 44 touchdowns.while playing in a major conference. He had over 300 yards rushing four times that year. He had at least four touchdowns in a game seven times that year, and never scored less than two touchdowns in a game.
His worst game of the year in 1988 was 154 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

State College did last night things championship teams do during the season.
Still , think they'll get beat but they have a shot at the playoff 4
Bet that
Personally I thought Zeke elliott was the best in a long while but I definitely think Barkley is better than fournette.
"Pathetic", says the guy posting on a team who you all don't care about's message board at 5:21am EST
Not to even mention it was a nationally televised game everyone was watching. Narduzzi's first game some poster was here already yapping about something. So I looked him up on bwi, this poster was posting live updates on the pitt-ysu game on ratings giant espn3.
And well, I really don't know what to tell people if they still don't understand why so many people want psu to fail.
I browsed the Iowa Rivals board a bit before/during the game and let me just say I take some comfort in the fact we aren't the only ones that hate that program.
That's correct. Most talented back I've ever seen, with Bo Jackson right there too. Bo was more raw power and speed, but was just an incredible combo of both. Sanders had the best feet and was the most elusive offensive player I've ever seen, and that carried over to the NFL.
