if either the game at syracuse or at home against temple are competitive, there's a problem. clark looks pretty good as far as making the right decisions, which nobody would ever say about morelli. we shouldn't lose more than 3 games this year, and if we can't beat michigan this year, i'm pretty sure it will never happen. Agreed. Clark so far has made better decisions, been more accurate, and has the wheels to run for the first down/TD himself. We should finish with a better record than the last 2 years but we'll have to see. i'd say the following games are games that psu definitely should win: @syracuse, vs temple, vs michigan (i know we never beat them, but we're just better than them this year and it's a home game), vs indiana, vs michigan state. -- that's 7 wins should lose: @ohio state so that's 7-1. the other games - vs illinois, @purdont, @wisconsin, @iowa. i think all those games are winnable but it's more likely that psu wins 2 or 3. wisconsin is beatable if you force the qb to beat you, but since half of the defensive line is either pugilistic or high, we're pretty thin up there, and i could see wisconsin just pounding the ball and wearing psu down. i think you just have to put 8/9 in the box and try to get enough pressure on evridge that he makes some bad throws. illinois will likely be high scoring but i think we should win that one as well. i don't have a good feel on purdont or iowa; i think purdont is better and that game might be a little tougher. I can agree with that assessment, with the exception of Purdont. Not familiar with that school. :wink:
