247 Article: Projected Wins & Off Season Fodder
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
fan. According to his model, Texas is making huge strides this year so yeah.
This isn't really a 247 article. It's from a user who contributes stories.
Quit staring at your balls... I'm not even sure why you would do that.
Back in the day the lamentations of PSU fans were legion that PSU would never again compete for the MNC because they would be stuck playing a soft B1G schedule. And then they got schooled by Michigan and OSU during consecutive weeks of their 1993 inaugaral B1G season.
The Big Ten was willing to screw us over to bring in Penn State. We can't blame Dave Brandon for that one. Then Paterno claimed he never asked for any byes, claimed that it was just a coincidence where they fell. Lost my respect for him then. Of course, i would never have guessed how much lower my opinion of him would fall.
Bye week before Michigan game for three years or it's a "can't do." I am sure today it would be OSU.
Your post motivate me to pull out their schedule for random seasons a decade apart.
First, 1960 BC, MIZZO, ARMY, SYRACUSE, IL, W. VA, MD, HOLY CROSS, PITT, ORE IN BOWL GAME. 3 LOSSES - UNRANKED IL, No. 20 SYRACUSE AND No. 19 MIZZO
A DECADE LATER, 1970: NAVY, CO, WI, BC, SYRACUSE, W.VA, MD, OH, PITT. \
3 LOSSES, NO. 18 CO, UNRANKED WI AND UNRANKED SYRACUSE.
I'm with you PSU. Don't understand why they were reluctatnt to vote you a NC when you managed to run the table against such stalwart competition.
This was their shit every year in piling up their wins. MI, OTOH, as verified by College Football Warehouse: All-Time Toughest SOS;. Can understand PSU. Just fess up.
Especially since PSU lost so much off the d-line and Hackenberg. Sure, he might not have played too well last year, but he was starting for a reason.
Did their O-line get better? Sorry, our dline will make RS SO QB McSorely feel like his name.
I'm sure it did.
They're coming off another meh 7-5 season where they've lost a ton of talent on the defensive side of the ball, their one unit that was any good, and they're breaking in new schemes on the other side of the ball too.

I stopped reading that article when he said Michigan has "no returning wide receiver making at least 15 catches in 2015". Jehu and Amara. You can throw in Jake too.
Edit: I posted this comment before I looked at the article again. He corrected his mistake, sometime after I posted the same comment above in the discussion area.

I had to add the edit since my comment doesn't make any sense with the current edition of the article.
So we have better odds of winning @MSU and @Iowa than at home against Penn State? OK.
Call me crazy, but I think I may actually be more worried about Indiana than PSU.

I like that...not taking anything away from Indiana... just wrt OSU, MSU, Ped St, Wisc, Iowa and even Rutgers... Indiana has a long way to go to get to respect...though weird shit happens...
Under RichRod, Hoke and even the first year of Harbaugh, Indiana has absolutely torched our defense. This is a thing we should probably get under control. Or at least put out a halfway decent effort.

don't make much sense. It's a big drop from the post season rankings, which factored in the OSU game. Losing the starting QB is legitimate, but citing the three leading tacklers sounds very arbitrary, more like grasping at straws. We lost a lot less than most teams and are adding Mone along with the freshmen and O'Korn. Very few teams will be close to that. Only OSU among our opponents.
My guess is that he doesn't know our roster. Maybe he was confused by how the players are listed on Mgoblue. He seemed to make that mistake with regard to our receivers. Now he corrected the article, but not the model.
Analytics didn't rate our LBs very highly. PFF ranks our defense #1. As I said above, I think he's just grasping at straws. He must realize those projections don't look right.
this guy is an idiot, no fucking way we lose to Franklin at home after we pretty much pushed them around last year in their stadium no less.
Our squad is supposed to have an all time great defense, PSU will have a tough time scoring any points at all, 38-0 that game will be!

It was 28-16 but in all seriousness, that game felt like we were going to win pretty much the whole game, it never felt like it would be a loss.

Barkley had 1 big run at the start then didn't do shit the rest of the game
I'm also not a doctor not have I recently stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but it would have hardly shocked me if it had come out that Hackenberg was concussed late in the game, because he looked out of it.

Michigan outgained and outplayed Penn State, but Penn State still was in position to win that game with a break in the fourth quarter (meaning a defensive touchdown or a lucky tipped pass).
Then Jourdan Lewis had a good kickoff return after their last field goal and they got the clinching touchdown.
I don't see it happening this year, though. The game is in Ann Arbor and Penn State has lost too much on defense.

What QB, or leader of a team, does that?

That game was not as close as some of you seem to thing.
I was there and PSU fans started emptying out with more than 5 minutes left in the game. Fans don't leave early for nailbiters.
This offseason they lost their QB and 3 best DLinemen. Now we get them at home. It's gonna be a paddling.
