Predictions

My father sent this to me over the weekend: the predictions for this coming season by the Harrisburg Patriot's three Penn State sports reporters. (I couldn't find an online link; hence, the picture.)


Between the three, I align more with Nick Horvath's predictions, with the following exceptions: I don't think Illinois will be a loss. Why all three of them predicted a loss against Illinois I don't know, but I really can't see us losing to them. The other exception is Michigan State—which, in all candor, I'm undecided about. Historically, Michigan State has proven to be a worthy opponent, insofar as they're neither a pushover nor easily beatable. They present a good challenge to the Nittany Lions without being as pompous or overblown as Michigan or Ohio State, so I can see it going either way with the Spartans. Though if we do gain a victory over them this year, I think it'll be a close game.

My own prediction: 9-3.
