Carroll H. Cook (’54 Pitt) is back for another season of providing reverse lock picks to ESPN SportsNation readers.

nagle, big apple: Beano my man! I think PSU’s offense will surpsrise a lot of teams this year. You think they can contend for the Big 10 sice Wisconsin and Michigan and maybe OSU (if Wells is out) are not their normal selves this year?

SportsNation Beano Cook: Number one, they play Wisconsin and Ohio State on the road. Penn State will finally beat Michigan so I see the Nittany Lions winning nine or 10 games. If Penn State was in the SEC it would lose at least three league games.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We’re doomed, Penn State will never beat Michigan now.
