re: Penn State writer picks Penn St. to possibly lose to Illinois but beat Alabama

It is his job to write. It doesn't bother me that he thinks his team will win. WHat is laughable is he cannot/does not really explain how PSU is going to be so much better. He says "you will have to score at least 21..." Bama did everything but take a knee to keep from running the score on them last year. They absolutely couldn't tackle TR and the speed differential was so obvious it was sad. Their QB didn't look like he could start for an SEC team to me but the writer opines that he will suddenly "display all the intangibles" that were missing.

One would think that playing on their field they will keep it closer but I see no evidence presented in this article that weighs in PSU favor.

A flat, cocky Bama team could go up there and lose. A focused Bama team should win by 17.
