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

My favorite quote from Bill Connelly at ESPN: "Maybe the most important point to remember, though? If one of these four SEC teams is left out in two weeks, the snubbed team still will have lost twice. They could have saved themselves by not doing that."

I agree that there will be 2-loss teams getting at-large bids, and there will be 2-loss teams getting left out, but the latter have no right to complain, IMHO
I'll believe that when I see it--I don't think any legit SEC/Big Ten is left out with 2 losses. Indiana is the lone exception to that
The other conferences aren't relevant.

Should we schedule mercer like Alabama?
We can schedule Mercer when we schedule like Bama
Check out their future schedules with two P5 teams in additional to playing the SEC schedule
Then check out our pathetic schedules
They have Ohio State, Florida State and Notre Dame on their future schedules--we have Nevada, Temple and Syracuse as our "big" game
Add one legit team and we can play Mercer--who could probably beat Kent State

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.
That's a good point and our LBs need to be ready. Carter could spy on their RBs as well.

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.)

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.
