ZachTheZip Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sheesh. The line's getting bigger. Now it's Akron +27.5I think Akron shouldn't be more than a 3-TD underdog. Whatever, let's make some ignorant/homer gamblers lose some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, he's going to be one hurting little man-child when the Zips take care of the pussy cats.STZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The more I read about Penn State, the better I like our chances. AJ Wallace will be sitting out for our game, for certain. Their kicking game is a question mark, and their offensive line is completely disorganized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu1 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I see your point Zach, but didn't PSU have one of the best offenses in the country last year? And didn't Akron have one of the worst defenses? Not to mention the difference in competition level. Jus Sayin.Also I haven't heard Wallace is sitting out.

PSU_Lions_84 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 For the 44th season in a row, JoPa said his team stinks (at the beginning of the season)You are spot on, Dr Z. This is Joe's standard modus operandi: "We ain't got nothin'. I would be afraid to play the Akron State Hermaphrodites right now. We have a long way to go to be even decent. Yada, yada, yada."Not to say he isn't concerned about certain aspects of the team (O-line, D secondary), but he likes to overexaggerate the weaknesses.Personally, I think the current line of 27.5 points is a little disrespectful to you Zips, but obviously I still believe Penn State will prevail by double digits. If nothing else, our bench is stronger than yours -- we will pound and pound on your D until it breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipseuph Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If nothing else, our bench is stronger than yoursand that is where schools of our level always lose it. we don't have the same debth as all the other "big name" schools and it is exactly why you will see us hanging with them for the first half and then fall off the face of the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't Akron have one of the worst defenses? Not to mention the difference in competition level. Jus Sayin.Also I haven't heard Wallace is sitting out.Last year had different circumstances. PSU's offense was great because they had a veteran O-line and the best group of receivers in school history. Those are both gone.Akrons' defense was bad because of injuries to the D-line forcing us to use our third string, and an inexperienced secondary. Both of those problems have been addressed, and possibly even overaddressed.It's a different set of circumstances, this year is a whole new ballgame for Akron.Paterno in his press conference said that he's sitting Wallace for one or two games. Either way, that puts him out for the Akron game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Also I haven't heard Wallace is sitting out.http://myespn.go.com/blogs/ncfnationPSU's Wallace likely suspended for 1-2 games August 13, 2009 11:58 PMPosted by ESPN.com's Adam RittenbergJoe Paterno is all for second chances, but the legendary Penn State head coach doesn't tolerate academic missteps of any kind. So it's no surprise that Paterno will discipline cornerback A.J. Wallace for cutting classes.Wallace likely will be suspended for Penn State's first game or two because of his academic issues. So the Nittany Lions probably will be without one of their most experienced defensive backs when they open the season Sept. 5 against Akron."I've told A.J. I might not play him in a game or two because he had cut classes and if he cuts anymore classes he won't play," Paterno said Thursday at media day. "I think you've gotta send a message and there's no sense sending a message to someone who's not a player. He's obviously one of our better players. ... Now when I play him will depend on what I hear back from our academic advisers."Penn State will crush Akron and Syracuse whether or not Wallace is on the field, but it's important for a new-look secondary to build chemistry as quickly as possible. Sophomore D'Anton Lynn could get an opportunity to shine in a starting role early, though I'd expect Wallace to have the top job most of the season.I applaud JoePa for this, and I am glad its happening against the Zips (didn't much care for the crush Akron comment in the article though).
