50/50 RU fans to PSU fans. Lots of We Are chants across our own stadium. Our offense needs to practice using a silent count.

PSU 59
RU 0

You guys know that our o-line has been decimated with injuries the last couple weeks, no? Could be closer than you think.

Been saying it all day. We are banged up and may have to play Will Fries at tackle. PSU won't cover.

Given all the chaos in the polls I'd be very happy with a 1-point win.

Here's the thing about this game that will make it tough for Rutgers. PSU's o-line is in sorry shape at the moment due to injuries and that will surely help Rutgers. The problem is that PSU might get 21 pts in this game on kick returns and from the defense, a pick 6 say.

I think you guys are too hard on yourselves.

35-24 Penn State.

I think Rutgers will come out inspired and motivated.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

RU can't compete at all vs the top teams in the conference.
No home crowd advantage either this week with my prediction of 65% Pen St fans that could even go up to 70% if Pen St fans buy up the thousands of unsold tickets on scarletknights.com

Teams such as Minny and Indiana were able to hang in there with Penn State.

I think this is the game that ASH will have you guys motivated and inspired.

Also at worst it will be 65 % or more Rutgers fans in the stands.

Penn State will come in already recording the W.

That how I see it.

I understand that Pitt fans would love to see Pen St lose here, but, I really don't see anyway that can happen this week.

Don't forget that McSorley got hurt at Indiana and we won't know his status until warm-ups this coming Saturday. If you recall he didn't keep the ball on a running play once after being hurt unless you call scrambling on a couple of pass plays running. This allowed the IU defense to key on Barkley with no fear of McSorley.

I'm not predicting a Rutgers win but Rutgers will be competitive.

Rutgers needs this game and next weeks game with Maryland as a confidence builder for recruiting and next season.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

We could key on Barkley with 11 guys and he would still drag our freshman LB's 5 yds. just like the MSU RB's did last week. You don't need a QB to accomplish that.

PSU Wins, but RU shelves their special "Pitt 50 Points A game Narduzzi Lockdown Cover Corner Coronary D" and holds it within 35.-sg

51-3 PSU. The wife will be happy. This season feels like '99. Maybe we beat Maryland in OT to have some positive feelings going into the off season. I doubt it.

:confused: I have no idea what the f*ck this is supposed to mean. Does anybody have their drunkard's decoder ring handy.

In order to impress recruits, Franklin will pull a Harbaugh and run up the score. PSU 51 - RU 10. Ugly early once again.

Weird things tend to happen in these games. Thing is, our team just doesn't have the gas right now.

42-35 Penn State

Penn State, like MSU have now figured out what Gio does. He tends to send everything to his left including his scrambles and PSU knows which receiver he is going to pass to. PSU might get 5 interceptions. So I think Laviano should play some downs in this game for a change up.

28-10 PSU

PSU too banged up to score a lot of points - there will be several 3 and outs for PSU

PSU defense clamps down to win the game
