Is Joe Paterno STILL too old? (Lions growing up fast)

[Journeyman]

Looks like Joe Pa can indeed still coach afterall...

Where are the naysayers now?:howdy:

I'm right here ! They are nothing special and would not stand a chance against the better teams in the country !:lolBIG:

They are one of the best teams in the country. That's already been proven in a court of law.

Everyone said that when Ohio St was next, well I'm sure if you keep saying "next week' sooner or later it will prove to be correct....They do appear to be growing up some now...that defense is as good as just about any in the country.

No shit. I said PSU should be PK at a minimum in the game tonight, and everyone laughed at me and said that there is no way OSU doesn't win by at least 2 touchdowns. Reminds me of a quote in the movie Jaws. "Some people just won't get it until this fish swims up and bites them in the ass."

3 complete cupcakes at home followed by these back to back home games against teams they matched up well with was a taylor made setup for the whole "we are back" bandwagon. Winning at Michigan next week will be much more of a task than beating the Gophers/Buckeyes at home. Do you guys really trust Michael Robinson on the road?

How is Michigan going to score? Henne gonna light 'em up? You gonna run on this team? No, and no.

Who or what team are you talking about ?

 

[PokerKingJim]

Northwestern moved the ball on them. OSU ran the ball somewhat successfully, Smith just can't pass. Henne can. Northwestern ran for nearly 200 on them. Playing at home compared to playing on the road is like night and day - especially when you don't have a quality QB. Ask Ohio St

Penn St. Who are the "better" teams that they would have no shot against?

Northwestern is a good team, and a very good home team. Henne....who knows? If he plays like he did against ND, they will lose by two touchdowns. I would never bet Michigan, but you've talked me out of a PSU bet. Home field means a lot. Public will be all over PSU. I'm not convinced that they'll be wrong.

 

[Journeyman]

I just think the QB is showing signs of maturing and not making the mistakes...with his defense if he doesn't commit unforced errors, they will always be in the game...

Ginn for what ever reason tonight was pretty lousy.

No team has any real shot against usc THIS YEAR !

 

[Illini]

You are probably right. USC is the only team capable of beating USC.

 

[PokerKingJim]

Ginn has been pretty lousy all year. Big disappointment. Doesn't help when you have a running QB that can't complete a pass further than 5 yards down the field.

AMEN

USC had the 2 leading candidates for the Heisman last year and they both returned ! Add to that the fact that like UCLA inbasketball in the old days...anyone who is interested in becoming a member of a National Championship Team goes to USC.... Well ... you get the picture... This team is loaded !
