By Run Up The Score The key for Penn State is to score touchdowns in the redzone. Iowa is very good at stopping teams near the goal line, and last year Penn State had to settle for three field goals while another drive ended in an interception.

By Run Up The Score Of course, last year Penn State had Pat Devlin ready in the bullpen if something happened to Clark.  Devlin was essentially choice #1A for Joe Paterno last year, and you would be hard-pressed to find a closer or more controversial quarterback competition in Penn State's recent history.  A...

By PizzaDelivery Penn State now ranked #1 party school. It’s the first time Penn State has finished first in the dubious category. The school has been on the list the last seven years, and finished third in 2008. The listing covers Penn State’s main University Park campus in State College.

By Run Up The Score Welcome Robert Bolden to the Nittany Lions.  Let's be clear right at the top.  This isn't some scrubbish Plan-C quarterback that Penn State is signing for sheer depth purposes -- this is another #1, a guy who is ranked in the top-ten by both Scout and Rivals for dual-threat QB's -- and sudden...

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?

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.

By Cairo 4) In the postseason, the Big Ten puts together an impressive record.  Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Wisconsin put together a 4-1 record.  Writers take note and a few articles about the underrated quality of the Big Ten float about in the sports pages.

By Kevin HD Still, there is definitely something to gain.  Where Ohio State failed miserably, Penn State can succeed.  They can make people question the structure of the Big Ten and further drive home the differences between the Big Ten Champion and their co-champion impostor.

UAlbany athletic director Lee McElroy, sitting courtside for the match, said he is very happy with the job Engstrom has done in her first year as head coach. She replaced Kelly Sheffield, who moved on to become the head coach at the University of Dayton.
