penn state destroyed wisky last year in happy valley, but playing away from home has been a problem with psu in the past, IF joe doesnt bottle up the offense like he tends to do on the road then this wont even be a game midway through the 3rd quarter, if he doesnt, it could be very close
i personally would stay away from this game but i also believe that psu wins big (not confident enough to put $ on it though, would rather enjoy the game)
my prediction:
PSU - 34
Wisky - 20
hopefully this thread can stay towards the top pages and i can come back and see if my prediction is right on saturday night!!!
this psu team is for real, their offense is going to be tough to stop, it will be up to JoePa if he is going to release the hounds or keep it close to the vest, if he releases the hounds then the score could be around what i am predicting, if he doesnt, could be more of a 17-14 type game...im thinking he releases the hounds :drink:
Line should be Wisconsin -3/3.5. Wisconsin would cover that line too most likely. These teams are probably dead even, so no way should Penn St be a road favorite. They haven't beat anyone that impresses me yet. Wisky playing tight with Ohio St impresses me more than any game Penn St has had.
Wisconsin +5 is the best play of the week imo.
Joe does not call the plays. If the dogs are going to be released it will not be of his doing. If the dogs are held tight it will not be of his doing. He is not involved in the game day play calling.

in a way you are correct, HOWEVER, believe me when i say, Joe has EVERYTHING to do with what plays will be called prior to the game even being played, the game plans are brought to him and he approves stuff and denies stuff, if he wants to release the hounds than a aggressive approach will be approved by him allowing his coaches to call certain plays, if he wants to bottle it up, the aggressive plays will not be allowed in the game plan
quick story, and you can believe me or you dont have to but this is 100% the truth:
last year penn state travelled to michigan with a blueprint on how to beat them, psu had a very aggressive gameplan and had the offensive plan to spread the field and put up serious points against the wolverines.....the EARLY hours of that saturday morning, joe called a staff meeting and scrapped the gameplan, he wanted to be more conservative... the rest of the coaches were furious because 75% of the plays that were going to be used we no longer in the gameplan
even players came out in the papers and said that they dont know what happened that they didnt run half of the plays that they practiced all week
so saying joe has nothing to do with the plays that are being called is 100% false
I just got Wisky +6 :drink:
I love the home team getting a field goal in this match up. Home team has rolled the last 4 years...
