Big Ten Preview Week 11

 Light schedule this week for the Big Ten.  No big games but we do have a Friday night match-up.


Friday:

Iowa (-6.5) @ UCLA: Keep an eye on the Bruins.  They are getting better each week.  Iowa has a new QB that seems solid. UCLA 28 Iowa 24


Saturday:

Purdue @ OSU (-38):  Yikes! OSU 48 Purdue 14

Minnesota @ Rutgers (-6): Usually the Golden Gophers start fast and fad in November.   This year they are doing the opposite.  Sneaky good game between mid-level teams.  Minnesota 20 Rutgers 17

Maryland @ Oregon (-25): The Ducks are #1 and have an easy schedule until Indy.  Oregon 31 Maryland 7

Penn State (13.5) @ Washington: Be careful here Nittany Lions.  You did not play well last week at home and if your sleepy in a night game across the country, you could lose your playoff spot.  Washington 24 PSU 23

Dear Sherrone,

You are not a Head football coach and need to step down after this year to avoid additional embarrassment. You have failed at every category a head coach is responsible for, from recruiting transfer portal players, to game management, to player development, to putting your own imprint on this team.

You said on your weekly radio interview that you "signed off" on the WR Hail Mary pass play against Oregon, saying you "aren't going to interfere with the play calling flow". Well Sherrone, you haven't "interfered" with anything on this year's debacle of a team. You are guiding a rudderless ship.

I cant go through another season like this, so step down and go back to coaching the o-line.

Be a damn pity if PSU got left out of the playoffs again. Just hate to see it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than James Franklin! GO HUSKIES!

Ha ha, but unfortunately, I'm residing myself to the fact that he'll be the coach next year. It's going to take another year of pain before the school and sleepy Warde decide he doesn't get a year 3!

The heat will go from Sherrone to Warde if the shit show continues next year.

Franklin will find someone to blame if that happens. (Besides himself)

Brady, PSU and Franklin deserve each other. I hope his next extension makes him a Nittany Lion for life!
