Oh it takes other stuff too but come on speed does kill and even if it didn't Penn State doesn't have the power to play the style they play and beat the top teams in the nation....if Penn State was in the SEC or Big 12 they would have struggled to be a .500 team.

I think the BCS got the national championship game right this year. I'm really not a big fan of the whole BCS thing and i really wish they would go to a playoff system but like I said I think they picked the right teams to face each other. Should be a great game both teams have allot of weapons on offense.

I don't buy into Penn State really, my thoughts on that 1-AA conference they play in have been clear for awhile, but .500 is probably a bit strong, they've got some players.

And USC's offense is kind of like Wlad's chin, overrated ( I'm running out of ideas), they don't score enough to blow out PSU, at least I don't think so.

so who is gonna be the heisman winner this year. im picking Tebow

I gotta go with him also.

Tebow is running as much against Archie Griffin as he is either of the other two. Even if some feel he is the best player in the nation, then they are going to have to decide if he deserves the same distinction as Archie Griffin. Writers especially the people who vote for these awards are very prudent.

That being said I think it is an absolute coin toss and personal favoritism says Colt McCoy. McCoy or Tebow but Bradford would not surprise me at all he is the most talented passer I think.

[kingfrnk]

i dont think McCoy will get it though i wouldnt be upset if he did. but they were talkin about Bradford earlier in ESPN so its out of him and Tebow IMO im still shootin towards Tebow

You mean like a hard hitting secondary,great linebackers,a wall of an offensive line,and 2 of the last 4 best recruiting classes at WR
Because we have that too
Hate to break it to you Lyle,except for that 1 point loss,PSU would be in the BCS game this year,because we've been nuking teams all year
A 31 point win against the same Oregon State team that beat USC
A 14 point win against Illinois
A 31 point win against Michigan State
A 41 point against Wisconsin
A 29 point win against Michigan
14 point win against Purdue
But please if USC wants to get cocky,by all means let them,I'll have a better New Years night if they do

Your listing all wins versus a sorry Big Ten conference. The one really good defense they faced was Ohio State who virtually shut them down. With that being said OumaFan is right, USC doesn't have the explosiveness on offense this year to put 40 down on Penn State though any other year they would. Still I wouldn't be surprised if USC"s defense outscored Penn State's offense and it definitely wouldn't go the other way around.

I'll be a prick and say there is no way Penn State wins.

Oregon State,remember them,the team that beat USC isnt Big 10,and PSU stomped them,like a bug
USC lost to them,USC lost to Oregon State,and PSU beat Oregon State by 31 points

Uh huh...and Texas beat Oklahoma who beat Texas Tech who beat Texas.......it really doesn't matter who beat who during the season now.

If USC doesn't win by 30 I'll be surprised

Prepare for a shock then,because USC and PSU are 4th and 5th in allmost every statistical category

Yes Penn State vs Coastal Carolina and USC vs the Pac 10

Paterno signed a three year extension just now apparently.

Really? Wow how long is he going to coach for. I wonder if Bobby Bowden is going to keep going then I always thought they were kinda competing to see who would coach longer
