Southern Scuffle? - Jan 4 & 5

Eh - not sure where, but, I saw or heard somewhere that PSU would have 6-7 guys in Chattanooga for the Scuffle. I’d guess non-starters. Chattanooga has lots of places to see (Ruby Falls, Rock City, good downtown bars). I’ve attended 3-4 Scuffles down there and it’s always been a good time.
At the pre-match social on Sunday, Cody said the plan was to send 7-9 to the Scuffle, if memory serves. (And my memory occasionally misses the ball completely.)

Did anyone check out

how bad Minny's rushing attack is? Ranked #121 out of 130 teams at a 105 yard per game average. We are #5 in rush defense.

Their QB is a game manager type who dinks and dunks with no deep threats.

Cold weather, we should be able to shut them down and rely on Warren and the run game with some passes to our RBs.

Would be nice to see Denmark get another shot. I know he had a bad drop vs Purdue but give him another shot.
I didn't see that. however, I believe their RBs are at the top in terms of pass catches and yards. So it looks like they try to extend their running game with a short passing game to the RBs. That will put pressure on our LBers. Darrius Taylor has 45 catches and his backup has 18. Our two RBs have 36 catches combined compared to their 63.

I’d rather have Davis pull another “Davis” than Davis pull a Spencer Lee. That whole spectacle was an embarrassment. Getting pinned wasn’t the issue, it was bailing on his teammates afterwards, his mom’s hatred for eyewear and his daddy doing interviews for him. 🤦‍♂️
And after all that he still managed the best finish of our men’s Olympic wrestling team, guess it all worked out okay for him.

Ohio State’s Center out for the year

Well we only play Ohio State once per year, as opposed to a whole season, so that is not up to me. But there is usually some kind of bullshit, and 2024 had at least 3 BIG instances, besides all of the Oline holding, Defensive Back grabbing, and Wide Receiver picking.

duhO$U was called for 2 penalties for 15 yards in PSU game - anybody who watched the game knows what a laughable joke that is.

ESPN's Finebaum / MadDog attack Big Ten and Penn State

Should we schedule mercer like Alabama?
There was a thought back in the days of 11 game schedules and 8 conference games that the 3 OOC games for PSU would be split as follows: 1 for a former eastern rival, 1 for a national rival, and 1 for a pay-to-play home game.

This is harder with a 12 game - 9 conference game schedule because every other year the conference only gives 4 home games, so I think Franklin is working toward 1 former eastern rival and 2 pay-to-play home games. When the "eastern rival" is Temple, this is weakness.

PSU used to be able to count on playing OSU and UM every year, plus either Wisconsin or Iowa who would be strong, but that's no longer the case as we are seeing this season. Hopefully Franklin will see the light and replace "eastern rival" with a tough national rival in the OOC schedule.
