Don’t know what the final score will be, but if State doesn’t win by at least 7 TDs, then Franklin should be canned and/or the university should fold!! 
STATE at Michigan score prediction thread
- Thread starter laKavosiey-st lion
- Start date
Whoever came up with the U.S. time zones had one too many tequila lattes.
PSU hasn't beat Top 5 Michigan on the road in decades. Here's why the Lions win Saturday.
The Nittany Lions' defense has been the best part of this team ... and can grow even more. It must Saturday at Michigan.
Bodani picks PSU.
We. Are. Doomed.
If you look at it on a globe, you will the lines of longitude radiate from the equator towards the North Pole, meaning that what you see on a flat map is not an accurate reflection of how the earth is shaped and therfore how the time differences are determined. But, if you are person in east Illiniois and your friend is across the border in western Indiana - you are younger than him.Whoever came up with the U.S. time zones had one too many tequila lattes.
AA is in the eastern time zone.

laKavosiey-st lion picked UM. We're fine.
20-16 PSU.
Michigan has to kick 3 Fgs in this one due to our redzone defense.

We get an ejection on a bs targeting call early.
We get a typical bs drive ending holding penalty late.

l’m thinking we should be able to stage a huge comeback when Michigan runs out of time!Huge. If michigan started at 11 a.m. and PSU started at noon, think about the deficit PSU would have to overcome.
(We should keep this between us. I don’t want to give the b1g any ideas.)
Is this a trick question?
You would predict something other than a Penn State victory if you expected Penn State to lose.
PSU wins on the heals of a stiffling Defense and an improved Running Game with some timely passes. No prediction of a score but rather how it will be done. We will impose our will in Ann Arbor on Satutday and Michigan will be left wondering if McNamara would have withstood the pressure better.
Meh, I’ll never predict a Penn State loss.
Is this map from the 50s, all if not most of KY and southern IN ate EST. @connerpozlee can confirm..Whoever came up with the U.S. time zones had one too many tequila lattes.
I understand and respect that...but I was just answering your question.
I used to be the same way. Not sure why I turned a corner about 7 years ago or so...now I tend to call em like I see em. Some days I wish I could go back to being the fan I used to be.....I like to convince myself it's the wisdom of age, but it's probably just the get off my lawn crankiness that comes along with it.
l’m thinking we should be able to stage a huge comeback when Michigan runs out of time!
It doesn’t work that way. um starts early, but both finish at the same time. We Are…just Penn State.
Down by ten in the second quarter.... Allar comes in and ignites a rally for the ages... At about 4pm Saturday, East Beaver Avenue is an absolute madhouse! By 10 pm Saturday night downtown State College is the craziest and most joyful place in America!

Really don’t know. Start Allen and we have a chance to start moving the chains and keep the defense fresh. Start singleton and throw bombs it may be a long day and come down to a critical call where franklin calls the timeout at the wrong time and ices our kicker and he misses. Wait he already did that.
Central Michigan was a great tape for other teams to watch. It will be interesting if we have learned from that game.
Is mustipher ready to go. Is issac. Full speed now that it is mid October. Do the young linebackers know what to do and are ready. Do the coaches limit hardy especially on 3rd and long.
Do we go five wide and let Clifford take a beating or do we keep a back on the backfield and setup Michigan with multiple plays to tight end and backs out of backfield.
Our punter amor has been a pleasant surprise does he continue his progression and pinegar, can he be solid and hit all field goals.
so many questions for this Saturday.
can’t make a prediction. Heart says yes, head says many variables to overcome.

I tend to think Michigan sells out early. They'll fill the box. They will blitz and attack early to see how we respond. Do we have 10-15 plays scripted out? Do we come in with a call and adjust based on what they show?
Early, I'd like to use the WR screens and get Michigan running. Pick up a first down, go tempo. I'd start Allen or Lee and then play action off the tempo into our Floods set. WR screens to flip the short side of the field then flip the WRs and run to the opposite side. I'd probably rotate my backs every 3-4 plays if I start driving. Different wrinkle than we've shown.
I think they play aggressive defense this week. More than they have. They usually blitz on 3rd downs. I think we see it more on 1st/2nd unless we can burn them.
As much as I would love to see a dominant PSU game, I believe Michigan is fundamentally sound in many aspects of the game. In fact they are probably better this year than last year. With our current struggles against Northwestern and CMU I don't see us winning. U of M is playing at home, their quarterback statistically is better (decent passing offense), their defense is solid and they have a good consistent running game. I am happy with our young players performance and I think the best years are yet to come for this team. I just see too many areas of needed improvement to win this game and I am not confident we are there yet. The game will be competitive until the 2nd half. I hope I am wrong with my opinion......
U of M: 34
PSU : 17

If we are going to do it then this is the year. Next year schedule much harder and who knows what 2024 looks like. Michigan is a toss up and we do not have to play our best to win but it will be about which team shows up and is better. Franklin has the team that is developing and maturing each week this year! So the time is now if he wants to get psu to the next level!
I suspect NW Indiana is so commercially related to Chicago the railroads put the region in the Central time zone.Whoever came up with the U.S. time zones had one too many tequila lattes.
Penn State, thinking Michigan has left the field after time expired (for them), runs up the middle but finds out that 2 seconds had been added back to Michigan's time and the play is stuffed. Then the Wolverines actually DO leave the field and, after two overthrows, the Lions go for it and score the winning TD on a gutsy 4th down call.l’m thinking we should be able to stage a huge comeback when Michigan runs out of time!
One more to add:
As much as possible avoid leaving the outcome in the hands of the officials...
It is absolutely ridiculous that we have to be just as or more concerned about fair officiating as we do the UM team itself...

Well, it is their conference.
Smart analysis, I would like a start to the game that mimicked this. I particularly like the idea of the WR screens to stretch this defense horizontally. I know we don't run them to the backs, but if Michigan gets overly aggressive early in this game, a RB screen could be useful. Just me or since Auburn have we started to devolve back into the shotgun, slow developing, running game a touch? If I see one of those get blown up on the first drive I am going to lose my mind.
With gusts up to 27 mph, I think it's going to be tough to take long shots down the field, but that hasn't been our m.o. anyway. However, our kicking game is suspect and you may see a few calls to go for it on 4th and short where we'd normally try a FG.
