Dude, Tuttle

#3 PSU vs #4 Iowa

Man, Jones has been really disappointing.

Disagree with me if you want, but I think Penix came back way too soon and should have taken a medical redshirt this season if it was available to him. Would have much rather seen him taken out of this game before he got hurt.

Neither is losing...

So tough, too

Our offense is just a mess

And Penix throws an int

How far behind is the ota broadcast? It's gotta be literal minutes

Uh, two blocks in the back on that play

Well yes, but also because Penix has like 3 completions

I really hope Tuttle is actually warming up

They are selling out the run

I know the backup qb is the most popular player on the team, but I think it's time to bring in Tuttle

Penn state plays Iowa next week. Top five matchup unless IU ruins it.

Block in the back!?

If they got the original spot right, we pick that up

Bs that the rules don't allow to correct it

Oct. 2nd and Purdue's field is already torn up...

I think the two biggest factors in this game are: 1) The hostile atmosphere 2) Whether the offense we saw against WKU shows up If we can handle 1, and Penix has shaken off the rust and performs like he did last weekend, there's no reason we can't win this game, or at least have a decent shot. Penn State is good, but I don't think they are quite as good as their ranking. Penn State total offense is ranked 55. WKU is 14, and Cincinnati is 50. Iowa is 122 (Yikes - goes to show how much we beat ourselves in that game). Penn State total defense is ranked 47. Iowa is 13, and Cincinnati is 27. IU is 92 on offense and 57 on defense. The point being is that, statistically speaking, we've already faced two better offenses and two better defenses than Penn State, AND we've played in a tougher environment already this year, though this one will probably be the second hardest of the year.

I just don't see it happening. I mean, I'm sure they're going to want to "get back" at us for having the temerity to beat them once, but that doesn't mean it will happen. Despite being the doorstep of the Big Ten for decades, we are no longer that team, and just because we had a debacle at Iowa doesn't mean we are destined to lose every game. Seems like a lot of fans can't get past the past! Penix is shaking off the rust, and WKU might be the most difficult offense we face the entire season (even if not statistically "best"). I just don't see PSU running us over because they are looking for revenge - the only team capable of that would be Alabam IMO. Not saying it can't happen, but this IU team is still very good, just with possibly the most difficult schedule in our history.

This was their largest crowd in history...set the record.

Man, I don't know, who is clearly better? OSU? They remind me of Wilson's early IU teams. Top offense, but the defense keeps them from being actually good.

They showed him on the sidelines smiling and joking, which I think would be odd if it really was season ending, but it sure looked like it could be.

Let's be honest though, WKU is pretty freaking good, and their oc is definitely getting some job offers at the end of the season.
