| Pyromania1983 | 9 | I might be a bit bullish and biased on this one, but the Nittany Lions look like a completely different team than last year. Led by LB Tony Rojas, the defense looks like a top-10 defense in the entire country, allowing 0 points and 9 points respectively over the first two weeks. The offense struggled a bit in the first half, but Matt Campbell made halftime adjustments (shocking!) that made Penn State's victory an easy one in the end. Additionally, the team should be able to rack up wins without having to face Ohio State, Oregon, or Indiana this year. |

| Doogitywoogity | 16 | I will be very upfront that I have not seen any Penn State football this season. I am a bit shocked how close the Temple game was, even with holding Temple to 3 before trash time. Seems to suggest that it’s an offensive issue but I have no idea. We’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see this squad really get tested. I don’t think facing a Buffalo said that nearly lost to Albany (shoutout the Great Danes) will tell us much more about this squad unless they have a major issue. |
