Your way too early season prediction?

[PSUJam]

How many of Cignetti's JMU guys ever played B1G football? They came from a league that wasn't on par with the Big XII. They stepped up big time.

If your expectations are that of Cignetti's team last season I'm afraid you're going to be let down. Again, I hope I'm wrong. IU also had a QB that's going to be the number one pick in the NFL draft. We have a QB that has issues in both his non throwing shoulder and throwing shoulder.

Will the team be better than franklin's teams?

The QB better be better than grunkmeyer. The staff picked him.

Who the fŭck knows. That's why they play the games. You come at me with a million questions like I'm a Franklin or Campbell apologist. I'm optimistic with the new staff and hope they are the most successful in 50 years but I'm not holding my breath. PSU Alum class of '97. What year for you?

Campbell doesn't realize where he is. Kraft doesn't give him any space and tries to micro manage "His Players". Turns into Cheesy fubar. And team goes 6-5 under the inadequate support of Patrick.

Franklin's Gold....aka feces.

 

[Marshall2323]

Why even quote the guy? So you can continue to be disappointed? He royally ****** up the coaching search and is always hanging out with the wrestling team bro’ing it up. Cael Sanderson is single-handedly propping up the athletic department.

We deserve better.

Kraft then holds a "leaders only" meeting and spews obscenities, prompting this board to embrace him for his passion and ability to properly represent PSU as the Vice President in charge of Interscholastic Athletics.

My expectation is not an undefeated season. This team is certainly capable of a 9-3 or 10-2 season.

That's fair.

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

9-3 or 10-2 is my high-end expectation. The schedule (as of today) is weak.

The big variable is Becht at QB. He's coming off a significant shoulder injury/surgery. And I admittedly haven't watched him to know if his skills will hold up in the BIG grind. Also, do we have enough weapons on the outside? I'd think we should be able to run the ball though.

Athlon sports has the B1G like this:

Tier 1

Ohio State
Oregon

Tier 2

Michigan
USC
Penn State
Washington

That is about right. We dodge both Tier 1 teams. People predicting 7 wins are still sore about their golden boy being fired. Move on.

To your point, Ohio State is mocked to have 4 players picked in the first 6 picks in the NFL draft by Field Yates. They are in a different galaxy when it comes to talent.

Three of those players are defenders. They made Jim Knowles look brilliant and got him paid the highest DC contract ever in college football at PSU. Then, he doesn't have the talent at PSU to "coach up", and he falls flat on his face. I'm not saying he's a bad coach, but -----> Jimmy's and Joe's.

Same with Moorhead and Barkley, Easy to look elite when you have a generational talent at RB.

And Ryan Day with an entire team filled with 5 stars.

Eggscuses for use when you miss by miles:

Remember that we had more roster turnover than normal- I (under/over) rated our roster

Remember that we had more coaching staff turnover than normal- I (under/over) rated our staff

Who could have seen the massive cash infusions at Iowa, Nebraska, and Michigan State that enabled them to buy so much talent? Iowa could have won the NFC East.
