Don't worry, PSU is about to run into the real Big 10 season.

If we are to start paying college football players, can we also start fining them for hits like the one Sukay just put on Scheelhaase?

That play reminded me of the play by Kurt Coleman a couple of years ago, where the Big Ten suspended him for a game (Indiana) after he head a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Illini QB Eddie McGee.

I think Sukay's hit was bad enough to deserve an ejection, and since they didn't do that, the B1G should give a 1-game suspension. I think they call too many penalties on those plays overall, but when one is blatant like this one, it needs to be treated as such.

I don't expect the suspension to happen, though.

Is Penn State HONESTLY capable of winning any of their next three games? I'm going to go ahead and say no. Unless Nebby just craps their pants against them, I just don't see them winning on the road in hostile environments like the 'Shoe and in Madison. This division is wide open, IMO.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Wiscy after two big come backs only to see the game go against them in the last seconds. They could just fold their tent and call it a season like the Illini seem to have done.

Good point.

I thought last night would speak volumes about how the rest of the season played out. They were basically flat until the last 4 minutes. Now I'm not so confident in this team. It's a good thing they've got the more lenient part of their schedule coming up.
