Hopefully we can have more facts and less of the other stuff here:

1). Donald Coleman sits the 1st half per NCAA rules on hitting a defenseless defender. I didn't see the play. Cotton starts in his place.

2). The Vegas lines seem to be EMU a 23 point underdog. Total points for the game around 49. That comes out to a 'projected score' of 36 -13.

I think EMU scores more like 21 points. PSU 42. I like the 'over' 49 bet in this game. I'm a big fan of Benz, Hill, Jackson, and Russell. :)

3). How good is PSU? PSU beat Syracuse by less than a TD. Syracuse is a 12 point underdog to Northwestern. Not a lot of love in Vegas? PSU is not in the class of OSU, UofM, etc. in the B1G. Did Syracuse make PSU look better than they are? Syracuse has a new HC.

4). I wanted to watch the PSU QB, Christian Hackenberg, but the game was blacked out on my Watch ESPN replay. Hackenberg is a true frosh and former teammate of our frosh WR Stone. Apparently he is an efficient passer. I watched only a few minutes live Saturday. I think Hackenberg and Benz might have similar games. Don't think Hackenberg is particular mobile or a good runner. He could have trouble with the B1G teams who rush the QB really well.

5). Robinson (WR) is the PSU go to man on offense! He played only the 2nd half and had 7 catches for 133. Rushing was anemic.

6). Think I heard that PSU is now down to 65 scholarship players (a year early?) which is part of the NCAA sanction.

7). Any PSU fans want to chime in????
