Thanks for letting me be a member of this board over the past few months - I'm leaving my dorm room in State College now, and obviously I'm excited for the start of both of our teams' season.
My completely uneducated guess is that the biggest match-up of the game will be with SU's DTs and Penn State's interior lineman. If those DTs can stop the inside run and get some pressure on our QB, I think PSU turns the ball over too much and SU wins. However, if PSU can neutralize the SU DTs, the SU LBs will have to choose between covering Penn State's TEs or playing up to stop the run, and O'Brien will find the holes quickly.
Final score: 27-24, although I'm not sure who will win. My head says SU but my heart says PSU.
Regardless, I look forward to a good game with two good teams and two great fan bases. Good luck.
We Are!
