Penn St/Bama

This weekend, Penn State comes to the Capstone for the first time in 20 years.  I remember that homecoming game like it was yesterday, despite being a high school senior at the time.  Anyway, I've been looking forward to this game since it was signed a few years ago.  Joe Paterno is certainly the greatest living coach, and one of the top coaches of all time, if not the top (and coming from an Alabama fan, that's a compliment).  This will certainly be his last visit to Bryant Denny as head coach of the Nittany Lions.  I like JoePa, and I like Penn State, but I'm afraid Bama will have to destroy them on Saturday.  Yes, Bama will be without Marcel Dareus and most likely, without Mark Ingram a bit, but with a true frosh at QB, I think Bama's defense will be smothering and abusive.  The offense looks sharp, and I don't think Bama will have too much trouble putting up 28 points of more on Penn State's defense.  On the defensive side of the ball, I like the matchup here, and think Bama can and will force PSU into many third and longs. 

I see  a big game for Trent Richardson, and think Bama rolls to a 31-10 win.

Aside from that, I'm still sick, but had to be douche and go into the office yesterday and today for in person meetings.  I hate doing that. My cats are still behaving strangely, I think there is a power play going on between the mother and her son.  I'm hoping to leave no later than 4 today, and get some rest and maybe catch up on some games.  I really want to get through the ME2 shadow broker DLC tonight.
