btownqb Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 ESPN has us 25th in their power rankings. They also had two different writers saying we're going to go to the Redbox bowl in Cali. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27999026/college-football-bowl-projections https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/27991439/college-football-power-rankings-week-10 Those are those two articles. No news on Penix.. I expect to not hear much about him. What about Cam Jones? What happened to him? Any other general info items to discuss?

rico Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I think the big thing is gonna be, besides a broke Penix, is the Lions game against Minny. That will be a kick in the crotch for PSU if they lose when they are right there for a CFP appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy06 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I was thinking about the play Gary Cooper made. He looked fast. Not TE fast, but legitimately fast. I know he got dinged up in the fall camp, but I wonder if he could be a surprise weapon these last few games. I like what Bjornson has done, and we all know how good Hendershot is. But another TE with that athleticism could be another good option. Thoughts? I was a couple beers into the game when Cooper made that play, so am I overblowing his potential any?

I'm pretty sure it happened in the last minute of the first half. So if it had to happen we caught a bit of a break on the timing at least.

And the music city isn't an option because the big ten has been there so much already, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's specific to each minor bowl and their agreements with conferences. It won't apply to the CFP/New Years Six bowls. If a team qualifies for the Rose Bowl one year, and then happens to get sent there the next year for a CFP semifinal, that's allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe so. Their deal was for 3 B10 and 3 SEC in 6 years. We've been there the last 3 years. Of course, all of this goes out the window if all other B10 bowl eligible teams are taken and the Pinstripe or Redbox bowl is still available. Then they'd have to take us. They're just trying to avoid it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully the Music City would've been a dream come true.. and honestly I feel Nashville should really want us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things... 1. Other than the Rose Bowl, which takes either the champion or the 2nd place team if the champion is in the CFP, the bowls get the 2nd/3rd/4th SELECTION of bowl eligible teams, not the 2nd/3rd/4th place team. Now normally, it falls in that order anyway, but it's not an obligation. Edit: The Citrus bowl may be different. I think they may have a deal where they get the 2nd/3rd place team. But it could go either/or as you go down the ladder from there. 2. Among the lower tier bowls, they often rotate their selection number. Total hypothetical, but the Music City, Pinstripe and Redbox bowls might have it written in their contracts that they get the 5th selection on a 3 year rotation, followed by the 6th and then the 7th. Yep, better bust out your spreadsheet and a crystal ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d prefer to have new teams but can choose a repeat over a eligible new team if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Last 4 weeks we played 4 teams that are very on par with our overall talent (imo).. We won all 4 games.. 2 of them being on the road. Basically every other year we for sure lose those games at Neb and Maryland. We outscored the opponents 141-62. Is the competition the best? Absolutely not, but every good program had to start somewhere. Rome wasnt built in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons he was going to transfer back was to be closer to his grandfather who was sick at the time. He sadly passed away and Coy didn’t end up transferring. Can blame the ineptitude of Hazell for Cronk ending up in Bloomington in the first place. What a joke he truly was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
