How many players will they have left after suspension/arrests/injuries?

I've quoted the portion of the preview that should end up on Pryor's locker.

CFN.Penn.State.Preview

The team will be far better if ? no one notices that there's no one on the schedule who can throw the ball. Illinois and Juice Williams threw the ball well last season, but that was about it as far as the top passing attacks the Nittany Lions faced. The stats were tremendous, allowing just six touchdown passes and picking off 16 in 12 games with just two 200+ yard passing games allowed. And then came a trip to Pasadena where Mark Sanchez decided he was ready to play like a No. 5 pick in the draft throwing for 413 yards and four touchdowns. This year's Penn State secondary will once again put up great stats considering there's absolutely no one outside of Illinois and maybe, don't laugh, Akron who can throw a forward pass. Keep this in the back of your mind come bowl time.

Why Does Ohio State Get a Pass?

A quick summary of the article:
baby_crying_closeup.jpg


and for some brief responses

Now, Ohio State recruits well and I'm sure they'll fill the holes with very good players. But how can anyone assume they will play as a cohesive unit from the get go?

because Ohio State has consistently done just that for at least the past several years, recall the 2006 season when we replaced 9 starters on defense, including the best trio of linebackers in the country, and proceeded to go 12-1

Why are they getting a complete pass on all of this and a top ten ranking while people are lining up to tear down Penn State before the season even starts?

#1 because everyone hates Penn State fans

#2 because Penn State's out of conference schedule is pathetic

#3 because Penn State hasn't put together back to back great seasons in over a decade, Penn State is 66-44 straight up over the past nine years and 39-33 in the Big Ten over the same time span, and for some reason Penn State fans still pretend like they are an elite program, thus pissing everyone off and leading back to #1
