I'm worried about Indiana. IU has a decent defense and a QB who can

consistently throw the "middle route"..short, intermediate and deep, which is PSU's Achilles Heel.

I'm also worried that it's going to be played in a "sleepy stadium" and that Brett Pry doesn't geberallly "unleash the hounds" (aka blitz) until he makes adjustments at halftime.

This is the most important game on PSU's remaining schedule and Pry needs to be able to make adjustments after Q1. PSU was sleepy during the 1st half of the Purdue game. If we show up similarly sleepy, this game could very well be over at halftime...and not in a good way.

I also fear a John O'Neill sighting in Bloomington. There are certain "Powers" within the B1G who aren't enthralled with PSU'S "resurgence" into the Top10.
 
LOL, Dude. It's Indiana. It is not the most important game on the schedule, that is MSU.

For those that complain PSU should be ranked higher by the CFB panel, consider the above post. PSU is playing with house money, yet many fans are worried about Indiana. So consider that when you whine about PSU being ranked #10. This season is already been far better to us than any of us could have imagined, but instead of enjoying that we have people incessantly whining.

It's too bad many of you were not following PSU when they were truly great to put this whining into perspective. If you're still worried about Indiana, then your team is not a great team.

Indiana is a more important game than MSU. Indiana is a better team than Michigan State and we get MSU at home. I am worried about Indiana because our team is not a great one, merely a good one. It's a game I expect to win but it is hardly a lock.
 
Blough has more yardage than Lagow. IU is very similar in output to Purdue. Yes, it is a concern, but if this defense plays as it has been playing, Lagow isn't going to have much time to stand back there.

no game is a gimme from here on out even though we are playing 3 inferior opponents. ask texas a&m last week. this team is playing way above expectations but every game since osu has had me a little nervous -- mostly because of what is at stake.
 
Feeling better about this game after watching offense vs. Iowa.

Iowa is better front 7 than Indiana and was only giving up 19 pts per game. IU is much improved but don't think they can outscore PSU.

Of course, there are wildcards - turnovers, flat start on the road, etc. Anything can happen but when I look at matchups and how we're playing on both sides of the ball we are in good shape.
 
I have respect for Indiana and they are a good team, but Penn State is playing on another level. If they come out hungry and with the passion they've been playing with...this is another route. How can they not be fired up for every remaining game? They have the opportunity for a huge Bowl bid!!!

Comes down to the halftime interview!

Not so much the halftime interview, but moreso the after-game interview during which the complete lack of X and O football knowledge surfaces,

Meanwhile we have Sean, Charles, Brent, Matt and Joe.

Hell there are "certain" posters on this board that aren't enthralled with PSU's resurgence. Not sayin, just sayin. :cool:

Every game worries me, can't get the last few years out of my head yet. Still a young team and any road game in conference is gonna be tough sans complete garbage teams. This will not be easy and the team has struggled a bit in the early games this year. IU will be pumped, think they become bowl eligible with win here.

I may be in the minority when I say this but any conference win on the road is a good win. It doesn't matter if it's by a point or 30 points. Just go play the game and win. That goes for any team in any league.
