Here's what I said Friday about the game in Phil's Key Matchups column and I stick by it today

"I'm much more concerned about PSU's Pass defense than I am about PSU scoring vs Minny's D. If the pass rush gets to Morgan and the DBs can do a good job, the game won't even be close."

and

"The ball skills of PSU's DBs aren't the best I've ever seen. I'm probably very wrong, but there is talk of TCF going pro after this year, and I don't see him as a strong defender. IMO he needs another year of college ball, but like I said I'm probably wrong.

But if PSU's pass rush can get to Morgan, then the DBs will be just fine. The matchup I'm looking for is Toney vs the big 400 pound kid. That OT doesn't move all that well, and he hasn't seen anyone even close to the speed of Toney this season. IMO that is totally the key to the entire game...can PSU get a big pass rush on this QB?"
