They were 6.5 point favorites against Minnesota.

We are making strides but we are not god enough to beat Penn St on the road yet.
But that’s why they play the game,you never know.
I’ll be happy with a competive and injury free game.
The last two are very winnable,9-3 would be outstanding.

We will have to have our A game.
Win turnovers, a few explosive long plays, turn FGs into TDs.
Tough to do all three.
Both Maryland and Minnesota had bye weeks before they played us. That is a huge advantage for them.We beat MD 34-28. A week later, MN beat MD 52-10
MN beat NEB 34-7. A week later we beat NEB 38-31.
Yes, we were on the road, and MN at home. However the games were all on 10/12 & 10/26.
14 points looks about right. Had PSU played better against MN, win or lose, it would probably be 17.
yes please, no injuries.We are making strides but we are not good enough to beat Penn St on the road yet.

That's not bad. I think it'll tighten as the week goes on.
Yea penn states biggest weakness is pass defense. They also had no pass rush against minny...1 sack. It'll be tough to run against psu they have the 3rd best rated rushing defense in the country.I truly think we are going to give Penn St problems. I'm thinking it'll be a tight game going into the 4th quarter. Indiana could absolutely pull off an upset!!

Ramsey is going to have to find another gear in regards to decision making. If the first couple reads aren't there at least take off if its there and don't dawdle in the pocket. Also, slide otherwise we will be down to Tuttle and thats a big question mark I don't think anyone can answer. I'm sure he is getting reps now just in case.
Clifford, QB for psu, takes off too. He isn't a world beater but gets yards when needed. The psu offense is very balanced so this will be a tough job for our young defense. Great test to see how far we have improved since the msu game.
JMHO if Ramsey is making quick decisions and scores td's instead of field goals we can be very competitive.
Despite their loss to Minnesota, Penn State's dream is still very much alive. If they win out in the regular season, and then knock off Minnesota in Indy, there's an excellent chance they make the CFP with a shot at the national championship. We should expect their very best effort and a raucous crowd this Saturday.But their easy games are over and they may not have much spunk left after that Minnesoat game burst their dream bubble.
It was kind of obvious when Ramsey came in for Penix against northwestern on the very 1st play he took a sack. He held the ball again on the next play, almost got sacked again before scrambling and getting maybe 3. jus sayin. penn state has a much better d-line than nw.Watch closer.
Ramsey doesn't have to wait for Hale or Westbrook anymore.
The Whop Stop is always open.
That's why he is getting it out quicker too.

Hell no, Ohio St will hammer PSU!They're not beating O$U
I don't think so either, but I'm sure that's not their mindset. They control their own destiny.They're not beating O$U
No doubt.
But there's also a difference between coming in cold for a hurt player and under surprise, and getting to spend 2 weeks working on a game plan.
Folks who think Ramsey is no better today than he was last year are intentionally looking for reasons to criticize him.
He still doesn't have Penix's arm, and never will.
He will never throw into the same situation that Penix might.
But if they both score - one in 2 plays and the other in 6 - I don't care.
In fact, in the 4th quarter, if I'm ahead, I'd rather score in 6 and eat the clock.
I think Penix issue on deep balls was due to his knee injury and not being able to throw as much in the Spring and rotating during the Fall camp.Speaking of Ramsey vs Penix RE: arm strength - It seems as though Ramsey has been better at connecting on passes of 20+ yds. Penix can throw it deeper, but those deep throws have usually been off target. Now, I think that Penix's arm strength has been an asset on intermediate (10-20 yd) throws where he can get the ball to receivers quicker which allows him to be more aggressive and successful at throwing into tight coverage.
I do think that Penix gave us the best chance to win, but the drop off to Ramsey isn't as big as many are claiming.
He has the ability to make those highlight throws you mentioned, and there is no question about the value of those, but in addition to those if he wants to expand his talents and value to the team he would do well to develop a softer delivery for shorter throws which would make them more catchable.My opinion only, but Mike Penix could lead next year's team to unprecedented heights IF he stays healthy.
He made a throw in the Northwestern game that I've personally NEVER seen an IU QB before him make. He looked to his left and there was nothing doing, he immediately spun to his right and fired a frigging laser shot to Whop for about a 25 yard gain.
I've never seen an IU QB make that particular play in my 35 years of closely following the program. It looked like an All Pro NFL QB when he did that...does anyone recall the play I'm talking about??
PS..Penix made another throw from the back of the North endzone this year and hit Whop exactly at the 50 yard line. That's another play I've probably never seen an IU QB be able to make. This kid oozes frigging talent, but can he stay on the field??

His ball definitely arrives at its intended target with a commanding velocity. I always thought Sudfeld had a million dollar arm and he obviously does, but this kid's arm is something else.He has quite the touch. The zip on the shorter throws makes all the difference in the ability to get yards after catch.

I think this is totally spot on until the last sentence. I think you totally nailed our QB situation.
