PSU -37.5 vs. Georgia State.

No-win situation.. This spread is huge and we will drop to #6 if it is not a 40 pt win. but then again, GA St. is the worst team in the country, perhaps. People say there is no upside to playing Pitt. These GA State-type games are the ones that truly have NO upside.
The first offensive play of the game for GS is a.....wait for it.....shovel pass!
Every offensive coordinator on our schedule is now changing his offense to run 10 shovel passes per game and a total alteration to Matt Canada's offense, according to many on here.
This is a great game in my opinion. Get everyone some reps. You go to Iowa the week after and keeps guys fresh and give young guys some PT, build some depth. Never know when an injury may occur. Not saying you need to have an OOC schedule full of them but sandwiched in between these two is good.
That would be awesome. If I am a Franklin I would be thrilled if every team on our schedule made no effort to keep up with our offense by using the barely threatening shovel pass.
Won't happen, just like every team last year didn't add a jet sweep after our Pitt game.
I agree. I hope all the writers and some folks here also, are correct, and every team incorporates the shovel pass, and ball control offenses designed to run every play inside a phone booth in an attempt to keep our offense off the field. I'll take a wild guess though, and say that no coordinator in his right mind will change their offense mid season for one game, given 4 days to do it. I know, crazy talk, right?
This game provides nothing. All the top 5-8 schools play a top tier team.
Bama- FSU
Clemson- Auburn
OU- Ohio State
USC- ND
Michigan- Florida
We play Pitt, Ga State, Akron
Clemson played Troy and SC State, same type of team. Alabama played Kent St, Western Kentucky and Chattanooga, same type of teams. Washington played Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State. Pretty sure all of them were in the playoff last year. Sorry but every big time team needs a game or two like these two play young kids and such.
Plenty of upside. We have a good group of young talent that need game reps. Wade, castro-fields, gross-matos, jarvis miller, cam brown, mcphearson, and the list goes on. There's no better way of becoming a better player than getting experience in actual games.
The one point that people always miss when criticizing these games are that college football has no preseason games. It's not like Psu can scrimmage Villanova 2 weeks before the season begins

Newsflash - it's not 1977. ND is not top tier this year.
