Pre-Season is over

[wesfau2]

Bring on the B10 Nittany Lions from Happy Valley.  Sounds terribly intimidating.

Gameday will be there.  Lots of eyes on our Tigers. 

Let's take a look at the opponent:

2-0 and leading the B10-East (was that the old Legends or Leaders division?)  They knocked off Wisconsin in a barn-burner week 1: 16-10; hammered Ball State in week 2: 44-13.

Against Wisky: 247 yards passing with 1 TD/0 INT, 50 yards rushing, 1 TD.  Two sacks, Six TFL, Two INTs and a FR for the D, which held UW to: 185 yards passing 0TD/2INT, 180 yards rushing, 1TD.

Against BSU: 253 yards passing with 2TD/0 INT, 240 yards rushing, 2TD.  One sack, Six TFL, Two INTs (one for TD), which held BSU to: 226 yards passing, 0TDs, 2 INTs, 69 yards rushing, 1TD.

What does all that tell us?

Their offensive production was skewed only by their rushing game against a weak opponent, otherwise they're pretty consistently average.  Their defense bats about the same, stat-wise regardless of opponent, with their strength being their secondary.

The defensive stat that jumps off the page, is PSU's rush defense.  That should be where we make the most hay to begin with, opening up the passing game on the back of Bigsby/Shivers/Hunter.

My advice to our boys is to avoid the showers at Penn State.

Or, really any boys for that matter.

[wesfau2]

Hoooooooo boy, those PSU fans are a cocky bunch.

I dropped into their 24/7 and Rivals boards.

Apparently the WHITE OUT is the loudest and most visitor-demoralizing event in football history and nothing in the SEC is remotely comparable.

They've diagnosed our weaknesses: Nix is horrible based on his 2019 road stats and the interior DL is soft and unproven.

Should be a 2 score victory for the Nits.  And Sandusky jokes/references prove you to be the worst scum of the earth.

You have to admit, they’ve been known to pop a big one up the middle. Especially of the young and inexperienced.
If Joe Pa were still around, I do not think that he’d approve of all of the shower room talk and would want us to focus on the game that he invented.

And we all know that Auburn has never and I repeat NEVER been to a larger Congregation of white extremists , except for the possible exception of Kyle field.

Let’s face it. White people wearing white shirts intimidates the fuck out of me. And I’m sure Tank Bigsby cannot sleep at night.

Forget Baton Rouge, Samford Stadium, Gainesville or Bryant Denny. We don’t know how real football is played until we face the fighting Sanduskys.

We may think that the home of Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley or Cam Newton means something. But you stupid motherfuckers need to realize, Penn State is the home of Matt Millen. Matt fucking Millen.

Actually, I have no idea who he is, either. But, I’d imagine that he played for Sandusky. So, he was probably good at stopping hard runs up the middle. Assuming he defended against such.

Let’s be afraid. Very afraid of the knitting lions. They will make us an ugly sweater for Christmas if we don’t pay homage to the pedo approver and the place where legends and leaders exist only in their minds.

I only know it scares the piss out of me just thinking about having to face Vandy’s head coach., again.

Oh, my! That is terrifying.

Just remember:

The Lord loves a working man,
See doctor and get rid of it,
and don't trust Whitey.
