Wrong. Penn State is being shortchanged by loyalty to a quarterback who has had numerous opportunities to redeem himself as a big league quarterback and never has. For the last three seasons PSU has had the best defense in the Big 10 and the best wide receiver corp with nobody else even a distant second.

Please don't tell me anybody with a serious reputation was picking a team that beat Northern Iowa High School by 1 point in their opener to win. Enjoy the night. Iowa isn't going anywhere.

Hey, I'm not an Iowa fan. I'm a disinterested outside observer, unlike you, an obvious homer.

State Penn (oops!) is overrated for two reasons: their QB stinks (not sure exactly what your point was bringing this up; it is what it is) and their OL stinks (overmatched against the Hawkeyes).

Never judge any team by one game, my friend. And, for the record, the reason all of those guys on ESPN (the ones with no reputation) were picking Iowa is simple:

Iowa has owned JoePa's crew for a decade...

You are exactly right, Fred.

Hey hey, ho ho, Joe Paterno's gotta go.

JoePa needs to find a QB, and quick. The "cupcake" portion of the schedule ended prior to the Iowa game (not that the Hawkeyes are anything great) and a real QB to go with Evan Royster, a talented line and a solid crop of receivers is absolutely necessary in order to compete with big boys.

OTOH, Ohio State is doing OK - just barely - with basically no QB at all and a 3-RB formation. I guess this is going to be Michigan's year; they have a hell of a QB, and he's just a freshman.
