No way we contain Barkley.  He runs for 150+, easy.  I do not see them letting up, at all.  They're probably out of the playoff picture no matter what at this point but Barkley might still have a slim chance at the Heisman if he really impresses the next couple weeks.

Barkley could quite easy go off rushing-wise.  I think you and I are in the same boat.  We both agree Barkley is going to have a great game, I feel it'll be through the air, you feel like it'll be on the ground.  Ugh, it might be pretty ugly on Saturday.

 
Well if nothing else, our expectations are finally realistic and where the product indicates they should be.

We might have to go to the tape and see if he mumbled "with envy" between look and at.

He must have saw a program giving eternal contract extensions to a mediocre coach and said, "I want that!"

I'm starting to wonder if he meant he wanted to be worse than Iowa.

I think Zach from DN knows what is coming. I really wish defensive staff changes had been made this week. We needed a defense these last two games. :angry:

Yep, I misread your post :facepalm: .  Saturday is going to be rough.

We could have a shot if Diaco would scrap the passive D and attack all game. Get defenders in the backfield every play. Penn State will hit a few long pass plays, but defenders in the backfield will cause turnovers, and Penn State may even have to punt. What is the over/under for the number of Penn State punts? Is it 0.5?

That goes against his "Bend and Burst" philosophy.  

 
Barkley will have 150 by halftime.  Five will be blocking four while our ILB's are in full retreat.  I don't know who first called Diaco "Fiasco," but you are a genius!

 
Ugly to brown bag ugly.   Never thought I'd see the day when the line is that high against NU and deserving so.

 
If PSU doesn't cover the -26 then it's because they were already over that at half and have their 5th string walk-ons playing by mid 3rd quarter.

 
I'm going to somewhat contradict my last post from 19 hours ago.

I actually could see this game still being a blowout.  But, not something like 70-10.

Everyone, including opposing coaches, know Riley is on his way out in two games.  He is a well respected member of the coaching community.

I could see PSU getting up a few TDs and calling off the dogs.

Bigger question, can our defense keep them from scoring even if they call off the dogs?

 
This sounds extremely stupid after last week, but I don't think this is the massive blowout so many think it is. Penn St is just odd. Slow starts, poor rushing days, but generally comfortable wins. I think they win comfortably, but I also think our offense can them a game for a bit.
