PSU v Michigan this week could be an interesting match-up or it could be ugly for PSU. It depends on which PSU team and which Michigan team show up for the match-up. It could be a close PSU win to a Michigan blowout. I guess we will have to wait till Noon on Saturday to find out. Franklin coached PSU teams don't fair well on a big game after a bye week ... they are 3-6 after the bye.Michigan's defense hopefully was awarded the game ball. They kept Michigan in the game until their offense finally got rolling in the 2nd half. GO BLUE.
It ended up being ugly for Penn State. Michigan played a cream puff early schedule. Maybe that was good as it got JJ McCarthy into the program as their #1 Q/B.PSU v Michigan this week could be an interesting match-up or it could be ugly for PSU.

Yep, interesting or ugly, and it was ugly. Real ugly.It ended up being ugly for Penn State. Michigan played a cream puff early schedule. Maybe that was good as it got JJ McCarthy into the program as their #1 Q/B.
We are going into our Bye week with Michigan State next up on our schedule. I do believe now that Michigan is for real. I believe that Harbaugh has brought the program back from the depths it had sunk to.
We can't make the mistake of looking ahead but it could very well come down to a battle of the unbeaten's in Columbus November 26th. If so that will be some football game.
GO BLUE.
Agree, was never a fan of Franklin from the get go. Could not believe the contract he got. Have a feeling they will wallow in mediocrity as long as he is at the helm, I hope not but it’s shaping up that way. Not taking away from Michigan but PSU showing yesterday exposed a lot of things on the coaching side of things that need fixing.Yep, interesting or ugly, and it was ugly. Real ugly.
I have tried hard to not be one of those overly critical fans who hate Franklin, but he is making it hard to support him. 3-7 after a bye week, 3-19 or something like that against top 10 teams ... he is a great recruiter, but a horrible teacher/coach ... he seems to have difficulty managing players, the game, time ... he is aggressive when he should be conservative and vice-versa, he is a control freak and doesn't let his coaches coach ... and he is over paid and has no need to change with the contract they gave him.
On the other hand, going into the season I, and many other fans, figured we would be 7-5 or at best 8-4. We have a real chance to be 10-2 with a bunch of talented true freshman and redshirt freshmen on this team for next year. So, maybe we should be happy?
GO BLUE.
So do I....I am one who hopes that Penn State plays the game of a lifetime when they play Ohio State later this month.
