I agree with that, and I am definitely of the opinion that depth will not be as big a factor in this game as most here think.  If we win, it's because we are the better team.
 
That said, I am appalled that the sanctions against PSU have not had a greater effect.  I was never in the camp that felt the NCAA needed to shut PSU's football program down.  But I was DAMNED CLOSE to that.  I think they didn't go far enough.  IMHO, PSU should have been banned from TV appearances too.  Let them have to tell EVERY RECRUIT.  Sure you can come here, but you won't be on TV for 2 years (or 4 years).  The sanctions should have HURT.  And here we are barely into the first full year of sanctions, and it hasn't hurt.  Yes, they have fewer scholarships, but they've still recruited top players.  Yes, some kids have transferred, but not as many as I would have expected.  They are still on TV.  The announcers are falling over themselves in a group PSU love fest, telling viewers how hard this has been for PSU, and how much adversity they have had to overcome.  It's sickening.  PSU fans themselves feel as though they've been victimized.  I hope PSU loses every game this year, next year, and as long as it takes for people to wake up and admit that what happened there was criminal, and deliberate, and calculated, and MUST never happen again.  I wish we weren't playing PSU.  (and I used to love annual games against Penn State)  I always hated them as a rival, and thought that Paterno was a lying sack of $#!*.  But I never disrespected the school itself.  We saw last year that the tail was wagging the dog, and the football program was influencing the university to cover up.  It turns my stomach.  My father was a PSU fan.  Today, he would be embarrassed to be one.  I want SU to win.  But almost more importantly, I want PSU to lose.  To be humiliated by every team they play.  There, I said it.
