Game Summary
Penn State played well and overall dominated
Purdue. Couldnt believe it when they took Painter out of the game.
? Evan Royster ran for 141 yards and a touchdown to lead Penn State. Daryll Clark also added a rushing touchdown. They have 21 rushing TDs this season, which is tied with Oregon for the most in the nation.
:00hour
? This is the 13th 6-0 start for Penn State since Joe Paterno took over as head coach. It was Purdue's first Big Ten home opening loss under Joe Tiller (7-1).
:scared
? Despite ranking last in the Big Ten in total defense, Purdue held Penn State 30 points below its average. However, Purdue only had 241 yards of offense, 112 of those coming from Curtis Painter, who was eventually pulled from the game.
There is something differant that makes wagering this year a new ball game.
That is this clock situation. If I counted correctly there was only 5 offensive drives by both teams in the first half. Goes by way too quick.
Much easier to hold a lead and run the clock at the end of the game.
I was dissapointed in Penn Sts offensive. They played strong , but being away from home affects them. Its not the mark of a Nat Champion team.
I watched the Wisconsin loss to Ohio St .
Wisconsin plays Penn State next week.
Penn State in hostile away game territory again.
