My Nittany Lions will have a difficult time focusing from here on out. This program is in bigtime trouble. When this is all over Penn St will be starting from scratch. Good Luck in the future Lions, you will need it.

Nebraska - 34                                      Penn St - 10

Cornhuskers -2.5                               over 43

I'm speechless  I was so proud of everything this program stood for. This is one hell of a punch in the gut. What Sandusky did is horrendous.

Cornhuskers - Over

What a tragedy that after 46 years, PSU officials leaked to the NY Times they are moving for his removal....even without any due process.  JoePa made it clear that the presentation of Sandusky's alleged problems was not presented clearly...a problem existed; but the severity of the problem was according to the king of coaches...was not made clear.  Can we not even take Paterno at his word?  Can we not offer him the benefit of the doubt at least until an investigation has become complete?

I am one buckeye fan that will be a PSU fan this weekend....just for JoePa, a guy anyone can and should respect as one of the greatest ever...he simply does not deserve an administration that would throw him under the bus, and allow one of the cleanest, and best programs of the country (historically) go out on this note.

The problem with preverts is that they very often blend in....you can't see them or point them out....

So...go Lions this weekend.  But if PSU allows Paterno's career to end this way....may PSU suffer 8 losses a year for the next twenty years for doing so!

This is my concern as well jayfan.  I have read the above comments and feel most are assuming they have a fix on this.  Emotion is a powerful faactor in a college football game, and this one could be off the charts.  Anyone who has followed PSU over the years understand how committed these players are to JoePa, I mean they came there despite all the negative recruiting about Paterno's age and potential retirement. 

In deciding how this scandal, and it is a nasty, ugly mess, will impact the game, I believe the PSU players lay it alll out by adopting a bunker mentality and rallying against all the bad press.  If it were on the road, I would think it might not be enough, but at home I think these players will ride a strong wave of emotion to send their embattled coach off with a win.  I think this will happen even if the BOT change their mind and do not let Paterno take the field.  It was already a good matchup with PSU getting points, now I think they win straight up.  PSU wins SU by 7

Paterno out...how does this impact the game???

Nebraska has stunk it up, but I have Nebraska -3 and Under 44...
