I get it they are not good this year but beating a helmet team means more. Beating Indiana in the same fashion would be boring. Should've routed them though, they were ripe to get 50+ hung on them.

considering penn state chea..beat us for the nc in 82, made solich and jamel lord look like south high, and complained to great lengths about td crossing the goal lines, plus the fact they won alot in their history, I'll take todays win with a smile. :)

although it would've been nice to actually win against wisconsin also..ohio state ....meh they are on a different level right now..

Penn State was the most talented team left on our schedule.
Too bad talent isn’t the only factor. Michigan’s superior talent (top 4-15 recruiting classes) is getting their *** beat by a squad of top 20-40 recruiting classes.

Penn State is a few lucky breaks from being almost undefeated. Michigan would be a middle of the pack MAC team. There's no comparison.

Penn State played much better with their backup at QB. Hope he gets the start against Iowa and dominates the herkies.

I would think that Franklin will do the same thing Frost did this week by benching Clifford and starting Levis...

It does mean more. I'll take a win over Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, Miami, FSU, etc. no matter what their record is. A win over Iowa doesn't mean much because it's expected even if we are the 0-4 team. A win over Iowa also does not mean much because they have never won anything of significance.

Also, I will just say that we should not have won that game yesterday, but because we did it is now a very good win for NU, regardless of PSU's record. Penn State's OL was very good. Their defense was good enough. I mentioned in the game thread that Penn State looked like us with the QB turnovers just breaking the team's back. Notice Franklin got the other guy in quick enough to make it a game. Penn State will be fine going forward.

They'll give the herks a game next week. As someone already mentioned. I wouldn't want to play an 0-4 Pedo, somethings gotta give. They're a pretty talented team, balls just not bouncing their way this year.

I think Solich beat PS with Jamal and Pellini as DC in 2003.

Penn State is going to give Iowa all they can handle. Would not be surprised if they beat the Hawkeyes by a couple of touchdowns. I just hope it’s a very physical game and they beat up Iowa a little bit.
