SMU has to get play their best season and they will go toe the semis. Watching that Penn State & Oregon game, they are different caliber. White Game, Freezing Temps, 110,000 fans. This is going to be a Penn State win (not a blow out but SMU could be rocked if they aren’t prepared) 37-20 PSU
This is not a hard prediction. Penn State has Dennis Franklin as a head coach and he is even worse than John Cooper 2.0 (Ryan Day) at losing the big game. I pick SMU to win 34 to 21.
James Franklin only loses to teams he’s projected to lose to. PSU is drastically more talented than SMU and are a 2 score favorite at home in December… The last time PSU lost to an underdog, let alone a 2 score underdog, was over two years ago… PSU will win this game, beat Boise, then likely lose in the semifinal. But they aren’t losing to a team that lost to Clemson and BYU at home😭
@Hugefootballguy he is 60-40-4 against teams he is favored to win in. More recently, much better. I expect this to be a Minnesota, BGSU type game where they are on the ropes all game. Should it be that way? Absolutely not. Will it be that way because Franklin's teams a traditionally under prepared and don't perform as they should against disciplined teams...more than likely
Drew Allar is pedestrian. Against ok teams he's good but in prime time, he might piss his pants. SMUs WRs will play on Sunday. Taking SMU plus the points or just watch the game.
As a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, who is they????? I respect 🙏 SMU, but being confident as a fan, is different than our players and coaches who are focused!!!! WE ARE, close game for a half, then my Nittany Lions 🦁 pull away 37-17!!! Thanks 👍
Our offensive line is hitting their stride and 292 yards rushing against the Ducks, 8.5 per carry!!!! Good luck with that!!! WE ARE
Pretty good numbers you said there
The players will decide who moves on, SMU has earned it's way into this and I expect a real battle from both sides.
I agree with that, and yeah I agreed with them getting in no matter the ACC champ outcome
It will be a battle, but my Nittany Lions 🦁 pull away 37-17!!!!! WE ARE
I’ll be there wearing white. I believe this game will be close though! SMU will come to play. I got PSU 31-21.
Good call

I like that breakdown, and I agree
State College forecast for the game: Partly cloudy, high - 28, low 12. SMU in for a rude weather awakening.
Gonna be cold
Is there a face to go with the voice?
lol good call out, last time was a few weeks ago. I’ll have one out Friday or Saturday just to show I’m not AI lol

That’s overall pretty accurate what your saying, good point
I can see that happening
Very possible bro

lol I like the analogy
Let's go SMU !! THEY ARE ALREADY TALKING LIKE THEY'VE WON! BEAT THE Nitty KITTIES,!
lol, I love it bro
They? PSU always have their focus on the game at hand. 1-0!!! Don't bad mouth them based on the oddsmakers.
