Overview
Lately this series has morphed into one of the most fan-service oriented in college football. Last year, 110k Michigan fans watched the Wolverines beat PSU's head in 42-7. The year before 107k Penn State fans watched a 42-13 stomping; the year before that Michigan hammered PSU 49-10.
The series of alternating blowouts now lands with Michigan in the unhappy position, and it's at night, and a whiteout, and Michigan seems to think the goal of football is to fumble in a particularly expressive fashion. Fan morale is low.
But, folks, I'm here to tell you. I am here to tell you that Penn State was in a dogfight against Buffalo and the final score of that game doesn't represent a –100 gap in total yardage. I'm here to tell you that PSU won a disgusting game against Pitt largely because Pat Narduzzi kicked a field goal from the PSU one yard line, and missed. I'm here to tell you that PSU got meaningfully outgained by Iowa, which… I mean, you know, Iowa.
I am here to tell you that we are probably going to lose this game but by God it's probably going to be less than a 500 point deficit. Yeah.
