Which Big Ten Game Will Penn State Most LIkely Lose This Season?
Much of the 2010 college football season with regard to Penn State is concentrated on a huge out of conference match-up with Alabama. Penn State vs Alabama tickets will be one of the toughest in college football. However if it’s a Big 10 title, BCS Game, and Rose Bowl you are looking for as a Penn State enthusiast, your attention ought to be positioned more on the Big 10 part of the schedule.
As usual, the Penn State football schedule with regard to 2010 has been dissected in every way possible by college football analysts and press members, and you’ll find lots of opinions on how the Nittany Lions are going to do this year. Generally, Joe Paterno has a lot of crucial players to replace and positions to fill, but he will need to have a good squad once again in 2010. Next to a monumental game with Alabama on Sept 11, the out of conference schedule is a breeze with home games against Youngstown St, Kent St, and Temple (though Temple was a bowl team last year and could provide the Lions a good game).
Of more interest and argument is how this version of the Penn State team will do in the Big 10. Most have Ohio State as the favorite in the conference, but this is absolutely no runaway contest as Penn State, Michigan St, and Wisconsin just about all possess great teams within 2010. Teams like Iowa and Michigan will also most likely possess some thing to say about the competition as well. And just about all of those teams (save Wisconsin, who aren’t on the schedule), will be tough match-ups for Penn State.
However which game is the most dangerous on the docket for the Nittany Lions? There’s not any right or wrong answer to this questions, and you can make an argument for several games. Definitely, going back to Iowa on October 2 for a evening game won't be easy. Keep in mind, this is where PSU’s undefeated season was de-railed 2 years ago inside a comparable night time environment. The actual Hawkeyes play Penn State tough and this would be the first Big Ten game for a young Penn State team. Penn State vs Iowa football tickets will be the first tough set of Penn State tickets in the Big 10 in 2010.
Definitely, the season finally against Michigan State, even though it is really a home game, is not an easy game. Michigan State is a nightmare with regard to Penn State for several years, and is really a team that simply seems to have Jo Pa’s number. If the Lions go to this last game with a lot on the line, it will be good to be playing at home, but Lions enthusiasts I’m sure might gladly be playing any other Big Ten enemy.
Penn State could very easily lose several of their other Big 10 games, including games with Illinois, from Minnesota, at Michigan, or at home against Northwestern. Presently there really aren’t any ‘gimmes’ on the schedule, though I’d put the game against Indiana at FedEx field outside Washington DC almost in that category. Indiana will be a Big 10 cellar dweller and that will be a virtual home game with regard to Penn State.
For me the toughest game with regard to Penn State in 2010 may indeed be the one against the favorites, Ohio State on November 13 in Columbus. This will most likely be the premier game of the Big 10 season and Penn State vs Ohio State tickets will be highly sought. Penn State generally plays OSU well, but this would be the greatest team they play, and playing them on the road won't be easy.
Regardless, football season is getting close and 2010 ought to be an excellent year in the Big 10 with regard to Penn State.
