49-3, Cats. Sympathy field goal at the end.
Yes, my old fat fingers don't always type well on this cell phone.
We haven't covered on the road under JON yet (0-5!), and I don't see it starting tomorrow.

I'll toss out a few guesses:
* The over/under is 51 points. I'll take the over. With the weather being bad, PSU's RBs will be scoring on long runs, preventing the clock from running out. Theran Johnson is not going to catch Singleton from the other side of the field.
* If we're going to keep it close, which is unlikely, Hilinski will be on some kind of hot streak and our RBs will finally get some good carries. I don't see the NU defense holding up here.
* Mueller and Gallagher will play every snap. The few remaining fans will riot. Coaches will suggest that Mueller is a few mental errors away from putting it all together and just needs more snaps. Who's right?
My hope: no injuries, no back-breaking turnovers, lots of guys rotating at WR and DL in search of someone to break out.

Penn State wins 28-21.
NU has a chance to tie it with the last drive, but a fumble ends the drive and seals the loss.

Lions 52, Cats 17.
And Jim O'neil keeps cashing that hefty NU paycheck for another week of job well done (note: sarcasm meter drippingly on).

54-10 Nittany Lions. They are ready to compete with OSU for the title this season. The Wildcats need a miracle to surpass last season's abysmal record. I have a better shot at landing a Playmate though. The team is disorganized from top to bottom. Only hope is that PSU takes the game lightly and we come out on fire.

My one annual rational irrational prediction.
The 27 is the result of a missed PAT.

Just don’t see us able to compete in this game. Looking for some positive indicators of improvement but this program is sliding downhill. Worried about injuries if this turns into a beat-down. This hurts because not a fan of Franklin either.
