Next up: at Purdue. Feels like a trap game with Wisconsin looming, but I think they're focused. Hey, if ND can beat them we sure should :p.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21204763 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:46:08 EDT Re: Penn State - Illinois http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21186544 SilverSurfer :

Who had their asses kicked up and down the field by lowly little Oregon St. Oh how the mighty have fallen. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21186544 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:16:33 EDT Re: Penn State - Illinois http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21182274 GoD of KaOs : You know I don't care much for the Big 10 but I do respect Penn St. I love the atmosphere of fans and last but not least I love seeing 80 yr JoePa still on the sidelines and still feisty as ever.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21182274 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 15:19:41 EDT Re: Penn State - Illinois http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21174413 KickMe :

I can understand your reservations about how good PSU is at this point in the season, but when you are favored by 14+ points, chances of an upset are pretty slim.
From what I have seen of PSU they look like a team that plays with a hunger, and that should make for great season.

Whatever weakness PSU might have it isn't from reading their press clippings and believing that they have been anointed.
As I said Penn State plays with real intensity and they might be the only team in the Big Ten who does.

BTW, I have seen -0- of that from my team, the Buckeyes. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21174413 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:24:37 EDT Re: Penn State - Illinois http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21173818 Steimes : ;)

Am I the only one worried about Illinois and Juice Williams? It seems like Illinois and Iowa always sneak up on someone every year.

Illinois played Missouri (now #6) very close, and although last week they barely beat Louisiana-Lafayette, I think they were probably looking ahead to the PSU game.

I think as long as the Lions can throw up big points on Illinois, they should be ok. I'm just hoping their defense can contain Williams.
