You prove my point. You can bash Iowa's opponents so far and some Iowa people can bash Penn State's. Doesn't really matter does it? I think both programs respect the other and both have outstanding teams.
This is the last season for us playing Iowa every year. Next year we start with Illinois every season.
Fair is not a word to use when discussing anything Big 10 related. I can only imagine what our schedule would look like in a wide open format. We could certainly continue our 11 year in a row streak of opening our conference play on the road….that’s “fair” according to the Big.
You're referencing a pretty simple, non-asshole reply by me but you choose to go the other way. That's fine. Again, not making any predictions about next Saturday other than it will all be decided on that day who the better team was that day. On the other hand, you have a big PSU win already in the books and looking to the game beyond. That's cool.
Did u see psu's third down % and rushing stats on the telecast last night? Both near the bottom of the B1G. Don't be a hack
It will be a defensive dogfight on Saturday. Both teams' strength is having a great defense while it appears offense concerns are there for both teams also.
Sagarin’s rankings are a joke this early in the year. His system is based on data and there isn’t enough of it. I’m not sure who on Iowa’s schedule is giving them this supposed strength of schedule.
I had the same feeling. I can see PSU as a top 10-15 team but not top 4. Early season rankings just don't mean much. PSU has a really good solid D but whether it's elite.... they have only one first-rata pass rusher and they were having trouble getting pressure on Indy QB even rushing 5. That will be trouble against the better teams on the schedule. On the other hand, this secondary really looks like the best group in a really long time at PSU, and the LBers are very good and getting better.
U should be banned for insulting people and just being what's wrong about a board. Go back to the basement
Here’s a great response…Auburn’s win over Ga State was about as good as Iowa’s over Colorado State. Glass houses dude.
You know it's Iowa week when the Hawkeye posters show up and tell us how good they are. If someone wants to beat their collective chest in their own board I say have at it. I never visit the Iowa board and hope our fans don't go there and post the same weirdness we see here from some Iowa fans.
I see your facts but they're only posted with the intent of saying, "Look at this!! It proves we're better than you!!" God forbid Penn State fans on a Penn State message have a positive outlook on their team. It's a good thing you folks stop by to tell us we're wrong.
I like our record against you since CJF has taken over (4-1). And I consider the 2020 pandemic year to be an asterisk on all reasonable accounts.
We had severely more talent in '17 and it required a superhuman performance by Saquon and a last second td to win. Simply the amount of talent with one team vs another isn't the way it always plays out...JFs bad losses to inferior teams should prove that
It was on the broadcast last night so apparently they deemed it important. So if psu is bad in an area, and another team is worse, that means that is has no relevance in your eyes. Cool.
Throw out all of the other stuff. Both teams are playing good football - there's no early-season debacle or elimination from playoffs (Penn State's situation last year) to take off the emotional edge. I think it's going to come down to dudes. And if recruiting rankings mean anything Penn State simply has more of them. We have 45 4-stars. Iowa has 6 and I think one might be a backup QB. Don't have time to look it up right now - going from memory. Last I checked 18 of our 22 starters were 4-star in at least one service. The other 4 are guys who played pretty good college football elsewhere (JC for Brown and Brisker, Temple for Ebiketie, Duke for Tangelo).
