1. Game at Happy Valley (not a night game, but still)....very tough place to play, especially now since PSU is tougher than most expected this year.
2. Braxton not 100%....he has not had ANY contact the ENTIRE week at practice....but says he's ready to play tomorrow? Expect less running and more throwing this weekend, one shot and he could be done.
3. Injuries....this team needs a bye week BADLY. Two top players in Simon and Hyde are banged up (should play), starting LB (Storm Klein) and others on the defensive side are running on fumes.
4. OSU secondary....watched the first half of the Iowa/PSU game last week....given OSU's over-hyped D (esp secondary) McGloin will most likely torch this pass D. If the OSU line can get pressure, maybe not....but if he sits in the pocket with time, watch out.
Hoping for a good game, but staying away from this one - ![]()

What a shame that these 2 teams are the top of the Big 10 and this game means nothing as both are on probation, and cannot play for the title.
That being said, with Braxton hurting, playing in Happy Valley, I would have to lean on Penn State. I am going to the book later this morning to see what this line looks like, and will most likely play Penn State LARGE.
