Are the Penn State Nittany Lions For Real?

Can Evan Royster use his vision to avoid James Laurinaitis in the open field?  Many things will factor in to this game.  However, if the Buckeyes continue to let teams like Ohio and Troy hang around, the Lions have more than a shot. 

Unfortunately, I think Columbus is too much for the Lions and Tressel makes great adjustments.  Lions lose a close one.

Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State:  No worries here.  Two of these three are at home, and a hungry offense will want to ensure last year's Michigan State episode does not happen again.

Penn State finishes 11-1 to me.  That should be plenty for a BCS bowl.

The Penn State season looks promising.  The offense has been stellar thus far and looks like it's going to blow away last year's, which was a problem in almost every game.  While the defense isn't flawless, it should be enough to stall offenses and allow the offense to carry them. 

While the easiest of the schedule is behind them, the Lions looked poised to finish strong.  Illinois and Michigan are big games, but are at home, which greatly benefits the Lions. 

Wisconsin is a tough road game, but the Lions should have enough to take it.  Ohio State looks to be the only speed bump, but is still a very winnable game.

What's in store for the Penn State Nittany Lions this season cannot be exactly predicted by an undergraduate student for certain, but if there was any certainty this season, it's that the Penn State Nittany Lions could have a very special year.
