One of the criticisms of the previous coaching staff was that the Nittany Lions never seemed adequately prepared to compete with high quality opponents. Since a victory against Michigan State to clinch a trip to the Rose Bowl in 2008, the Nittany Lions are 1-10 against nationally ranked opponents and o-4 at home. Saturday can serve as an example of how things have changed under a new, energetic regime.
Another week of staff predictions is upon us as writers share their thoughts on tomorrow's homecoming game at Beaver Stadium between the Penn State Nittany Lions (3-2) and the twenty-fourth ranked Northwestern Wildcats (5-0). Enjoy this installment as the Nittany Lions have a bye next weekend.
This may sound crazy, but Penn State Football fans should be rooting for the Ohio State Buckeyes this year in order to make Mark Emmert and the NCAA look foolish.
Now I know when Northwestern is brought up, a majority of people think of Stepbrothers, but what Pat Fitzgerald has done with the Wildcats the past few years is remarkable. The Wildcats are 5-0 and nationally ranked, and given the fact they haven't won a Big Ten Championship in over a decade, they are hungry to show people that they are among the top dogs in the conference.
While Shane McGregor's been busy campaigning for Homecoming King and practicing for this week's game against Northwestern, his hair has been making its rounds on Twitter. Ever wondered how the hair always manages to look perfect? Check out ten questions with @SunshineFlow2.
