Staff Predictions: Iowa at Penn State

By Run Up The Score The key for Penn State is to score touchdowns in the redzone.

If Penn State has to settle for field goals, or even worse comes up empty...

By noreply@blogger.com (Casey S) The 2008-2009 version of the USC football took the Trojans yet again to another Rose Bowl match-up against an over-hyped Big Ten team, the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Irish will run a gauntlet with teams such as Michigan, Washington, Navy, Washington State and Army. Not bad, huh?
No. 5 Trojans get on their high horse
Original at Sacramento Bee
• Fri, Jan 2
Penn State coach Joe Paterno watched from the press box, where he's been for most of the season because of hip problems. He couldn't have liked what he saw – at one point in the first half, the TV camera caught him shaking his head as USC (12-1) rolled to a 31-7 lead.
Will USC or Penn State provide best answers to Rose Bowl questions?
Original at TrojanWire

For No. 8 Penn State: "So what do you think if USC's top-ranked defense?" Hmm. The Trojans scored 38 vs. Iowa, 55 vs. Oklahoma and 32 vs. Michigan. Penn State's 82-year-old coach, Joe Paterno, coaching in his record 35th bowl game, wasn't actively waving the Big Ten flag this week.
