Lions Restore My World To Order

The Lions beat Indiana by 27 (unanswered) points today.

I was feeling down after the Iowa game so PSU's drubbing of Indiana made me feel significantly better. Also, seeing them flash up the 10-1 record up on the board was great. Two 10+ win seasons in four years truly establishes Penn State as being "back" after the dark times in the early 2000s.

The defense played really well today. Indiana completed under 50% of their passes, threw 0 TDs and was picked off. The Lions also held the Hoosiers under 200 yards of total offense.

It may have taken a while for the Spread HD to get going today but the Lions really took care of business and have a little momentum going into the Michigan St. game.

On a side note, could Clark fumble the ball any more?

GO STATE! BEAT SPARTY!

Watching Clausen Get Whooped on by The Spartans

It is satisfying to see Clausen get a beating. It doesn't matter who is administering said beating. Poor Pickle

GO STATE! BEAT THE ILLINIS!

Not So Good

The beat down continues. PSU still continues to trail Wisconsin by right around 20 points. I'm not going to hop off the band-wagon just yet. However, this is a very disappointing performance at home from a team with definite promise.

GO STATE!

Penn State's Wild Ride

certainly continued this weekend as the Lions crushed, stomped, ran over, steam-rolled, beaten-down, hosed, brutalized a Wisconsin team that never got it's legs under them. The Lions were very effective passing the ball, running the ball and breaking P.J. Hill's will to live. Crushing the paper-Badgers was not enough to catapult the Lions into the Top 25, falling 12 votes short of the 25th spot.
This season has been peculiar on both the national level and on a personal level for the Lions. The season started with dizzying expectations only to have them dashed against the rocks of a 3-2 start. Now, after all only five teams remain undefeated in the Top 25 and there are 7 teams with 2 losses. This, and two straight Big Ten victories, have restored the hope of a good season and a quality bowl appearance.

Several challenges remain for the Lions including, dealing with continuing off-field problems, oh and having to play now #1 Ohio State. Not surprisingly, yet another season will ride for both PSU and Tosu on their matchup in October. I suppose they have to play their "rivalry" game against Michigan too but that isn't really that big a deal.



However, PSU needs to take care of business next week against Indiana and the road has not been kind to the Lions this year. Proving that they can win in a hostile environment in the Big Tenwill do a lot for this years team. I couldn't be more fired up for the rest of the year, next week, and the Ohio State game!

GO STATE! BEAT INDIANA!
