#22 Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Michigan State<\/h2>\n

LAST WEEK<\/h3>\n

Penn State somehow shutout Temple, 31-0 in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT: MICHIGAN STATE<\/h3>\n

You throw the records out when the Land Grant Trophy is on the line. Michigan State is 6-5 and looking for another win to guarantee a bowl berth. With new coach Marc Dantonio<\/span> at the helm, they’ve been competitive in every game they have played, but couldn’t get over the hump. They have a better offense than defense too.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t seem like it, but Penn State has owned Michigan State since joining the Big11Ten. The Nittany Lions have a 11-3 record with all of those loses coming at Spartan Stadium. On two occasions, 1997 and 2003, the losses were blowouts.<\/p>\n

RANKING<\/h3>\n

#22 in the USA Today<\/span> Coaches Poll; first team in “Also receiving votes” for AP.<\/p>\n

PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT<\/h3>\n

Here is the official Intercollegiate Athletics transcript<\/span><\/a> of Tuesday’s Joe Paterno press conference.<\/p>\n

In PDF<\/span><\/a> form.<\/p>\n

TELEVISION<\/h3>\n

The game is on ABC in Big11Ten country (except Iowa), New York\/New Jersey and a few parts of New England. In other parts of the nation, the game is on ESPN.<\/p>\n

PREDICTIONS<\/h3>\n

This is hard, because you never know what Michigan State team is going to show up. You do know what Penn State team will show up on the road though — lethargic with very conservative play-calling. Of course, it may not be as bad since it isn’t a noon start. Then again, Michigan State is playing to clinch a bowl game since six wins may not be enough in the Big11Ten this season. Of course, when Penn State was really bad in the early 2000s, they eliminated the Spartans a few times. In other words — I’m hedging. So, who will win? Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to go with the home team, let’s say a 23-14 loss for Penn State. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

GO STATE, BEAT SPARTANS!<\/span><\/p>\n
