Taos, there is no doubt that there is much to look at in the minus column for Penn State this year.
They have lost key personnel.
They have suffered a humiliating defeat to a team that then got hammered by that team from up north.
But, they are Penn State, they will still bring in speed at the WR (even though I have my doubts about the ability of their QB to get the ball to them.
They will bring a good running game led by RB Tony Hunt.
And, they will be coming in on the crest of a small wave of self-belief following their humbling of D-1AA Youngstown State in Happy Valley.
I know you are not disocunting those Nitts, I just hope that the Buckeyes have their eyes firmly focussed on the prize this week. (Unlike the lethargy they showed for a quarter and change in their game against UC).
It is a Big 10 game, by definition, this is a tilt that requires the entire team come out with 100% intensity from the first whistle.
