Penn State-MARYLAND Game Day Prediction!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Penn State-MARYLAND Game Day Prediction:
Everyone has come to see that the Nittany Lions early easy schedule at home did not improve the Team as expected as the Buckeyes destroyed Penn State before Half Time. Now comes the True Test of Fast Jimmy coaching against a Team with far less talent and in disarray! Maryland had 2 weeks to prepare for the Lions and Edsall is known to give anyone a game that underestimates them. Maryland has so little talent, so now is the time for Franklin to show he has upgraded his Team better than the dregs in the Big Ten. Therefore, now is the time for Penn State to make the Lions Bowl Eligible to take away his embarrassment at Ohio State and do a big beat down on the Terps. Maryland has the ability to make slow runs but cannot pass and the Lions Defense can look good against a One Dimensional Team as PSU Defensive Backs tackle all game long. Penn State can run with Barkley and Win, Franklin hates he lost to Maryland last year a Program that once promised him the Head Coaching job, and like the Ford Edsel, Coach Edsall has become discontinued and extinct. Everything points to a big Penn State Victory but I am going to be bold and not afraid to be wrong and choose the Terps winning on Special Teams and the Run Games, giving them a lead that causes Penn State to make mistakes on the Offense.

Penn State will win, 28-14. Maryland sucks this year.

 

[MrBrownstone531]

I would rather watch a Doris Day movie than this game.

I would rather watch a Doris Day movie than this game.

Yeah, this one's going to set football back a few years

 

[Pitt'85]

I could have had free tickets in good seats for this game and choice not to go and I live 30 minutes from Baltimore!

And I went to grad school at Maryland so you can see how much I care about this game, < 0 !

 

[JSSTartan]

16-6 State Penn.

 

[USN_Panther]

Haha. Nice. I'm going to this game with my brother. He's a PSU fan (Clarion grad) who always is willing to travel with me to take in a Pitt game, so at some point I had to return the favour. Perhaps this game finally breaks him and he'll leave the dark side for the forces of good.

I really do not care. I am more upset that two crappy teams get a prime TV slot. I like the money, but the ACC TV programming plain sucks. My gosh, I have seen Mercyhurst and Slippery Rock on TV more than Pitt.

 

[daminals76]

Franklin and PSU show zero respect to the Maryland program.

I just can't see Maryland losing to Penn State. I know Maryland really sucks, and they don't even have a coach... But they will still beat Penn State.

 

[psbroderick]

These two teams are horrible. But, I like the dichotomy of uniform philosophies. And I like the fact that Maryland seems to hate penn state.

Penn state wins 17-10

 

[Pittx9]

Penn State 3-2. Maryland drops easy INT before PSU kicks game-winning FG. James from State College calls it the best GW drive of the season by a QB. Hack's final stats - 4/23 36 yds 0 TD 2 INT.

Should at least know who the coaches are before you make a prediction.

You should learn to read better before you post? Although it is still "Edsall Team" and was in the Preseason Prediction way back in August.

Clearly I point out Edsall is now "discontinued" and "extinct," just like the "Ford Edsel" that lasted a few years!

In addition, you make good post and should have put up your own prediction, if you had the Balls in your Nuts? Banter is fine with me, but you must be bale to read it, and I enjoy reading your comments?

 

[Pittx9]

If he has to learn to read it might be 5 years before he responds.

PSU-NUt is a good poster and provides insights when he want to do it, but the tgread is about making Predictions. I can handle any Banter anytime, it is the lack of comprehension from the other Poster that results in miscommunications! I actually chose Maryland because of Edsall being dismissed, because sometimes Interim Coaches does things unexpected when taking over? Penn State should walk all over this Team, but we shall see?

They should, but there seems to be a mutual hate between the two teams. James from State College had some not so nice things to say about them. The Maryland kids will definitely be ready for this game. The problem is though, well... Maryland is bad. Hoping they can get it done today though!

Good points, and although I like Franklin the talk is he is becoming like a Cad when going after Recruits of other Programs pissing some other Coaches off, but that is life as far as I am concern. Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio and Narduzzi seem to ignore his behavior of selling more than coaching?

Paterno could sell too, but out worked other coaches and made sure his Staff did it too, I am told Franklin is more of a glad-handler than working on Game Plans?

In any event, Meyer, Harbaugh, Dantonio and Narduzzi just coach and will see if Franklin can do that too with the talent he is recruiting?

We shall see improvements can be seen by Franklin for his Penn State Players beyond beating the dregs and mediocre Teams?
