The Penn State Football Show

This could be a tough test for the Lions. Coming off a tough loss, going on the road for the first time, playing an Illinois team that has given Penn State trouble the last few years. I could see either team winning this game.

Juice Williams and Arrelious Benn have had a lot of success against Penn State, and I expect that to continue. I don't expect Sean Lee to play, and that will hurt. We will find out how good of a leader Clark is this weekend. How well will he bounce back after his worst game? Can he get the team to forget about the loss and move on, or will it affect their play? M-Rob was the ultimate leader. Remember how the team performed after their only loss of the season in 2005? They absolutely demolished Illinois. Hopefully Clark comes out and plays with some anger and takes it out on the Illini.

Neither team has played well this season. Penn State has not really shown me anything to make me pick them to win this game. But neither has Illinois. I'll give it to PSU in a close one, but wouldn't be surprised either way. This game could be the truning point in the season. Does PSU enter the Eastern Illinois game 0-2 in the Big Ten or 1-1?
