Yinzers,First off, sorry about not posting for yesterday's Steelers Lab but I had two labs of my own to work on. More specifically E. coli plasmid cloning and staining samples for microscopy (see below).
Mouse KidneysNow on to your Penn State preview
This weekend, the Nittany Lions travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota to take on the Golden Gophers. The Gophers have been essentially in rebuilding since the departure of Lawrence Maroney and Matt Spaeth a number of years ago. So this game has two outcomes: neither team can score any points or both teams will put up big numbers. Minnesota comes into this weekend at 1-6 with their only win coming against an FCS (NCAA division I-AA) team. That's not to say that the Golden Gophers are a bad team. They have scored at least 20 points in all but one of their games this season. The problem is, the Gophers are far from stout on defense, giving up at least 28 in all 7 games this season. If the Gophers want to add their second win of the season this week, they will have to do it by actually playing defense and throwing screens.
As for Penn State, this is a "must-win" game for JoePa's Nittany Lions. Overall, Penn State has played relatively solid considering the number of key losses to the NFL and the number of big-time player injuries so far this year. The defense is playing well, considering they lost all three linebackers to the NFL and their two best play-makers to injury in the first half of this season. They will need to continue to hold teams to low scores to win the games they should for the rest of the year. On offense, just continue to get Robert Bolden experience. Let him take some shots down the field as long as there is more than one route for him to throw to. Control the clock with the run game and stop throwing those stupid screen passes. College football is won on the big breaks. Penn State needs to take advantage of their size mismatches on the outside and start going deep.Game time 12:00 pm tomorrow on ESPN-U.
For the Glory,
B Brog
