It is official, Penn State will be playing in the 2007 Outback Bowl against a SEC team.

I am pretty sure Penn State will be the home team, so they will probably be wearing blue. CBS Sportsline and Fox Sports project the Lions will play Auburn, while ESPN is saying LSU.

Joe Paterno may be able to coach the game from a cart on the sideline. I hope it has a good battery.
