Those Sparties look like they were on the way to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Unfortunately, Lewerke looked a little too feminine to be Dorothy, throwing off the effect.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:43 PM ^
Scott didn't lose yards on that carry?
September 30th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Sparty white helms are hideous
September 30th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Tatgetinf Iowa?
September 30th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
Iowa looks like how their state smells - poop.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:47 PM ^
Fumes from the Red Cedar River have an effect on visitors
September 30th, 2017 at 4:52 PM ^
Good thing that shit flows west and eventually into Lake Michigan. Plenty of time to get diluted before it makes its way all the way around the Great Lakes.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
I think Iowa is on its bye week too
September 30th, 2017 at 5:34 PM ^
Maybe, just maybe, MSU has a decent team.
A decent, well coached, young team.
Next week will tell all.

Ay Ay Iowa.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
Penn State's numbers are so big that even Joe Paterno could read them. It's another matter whether he'd willfully overlook it, though.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
Nice open field missed tackle what an ass
September 30th, 2017 at 4:50 PM ^
vs UM. Grind inside the tackles with small splits, run a few bootlegs and simple routes, and keep the clock churning. Lots of LJ.
If they keep it close, good for Dantonio. If they win, their season is made.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:50 PM ^
Iowa is playing really stupid. I'm switching to Georgia/Tennessee.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:51 PM ^
An aggressive defense would get Sparty into a lot of turnovers.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:51 PM ^
Iowa looks terrible.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:51 PM ^
msu has had an improved week
September 30th, 2017 at 4:52 PM ^
Iowa looks like Rutgers
September 30th, 2017 at 4:52 PM ^
FSU losing to Wake, but knocking on the door.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:53 PM ^
PSU managed to beat Iowa twice in one play.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:54 PM ^
Switching over to the SEC game, I realize how much I miss the Brad Nessler/Todd Blackledge combo on ESPN a few years ago.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:55 PM ^
I tuned in to CBS, and they're interrupting my commercials with a football game!

Georgia up 17 - 0 on Tenn.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:57 PM ^
Why are people happy about that? We recruit the state of Georgia and against Kirby's overrated pile of DAWGshit way more than Tennessee
September 30th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
I hate Tennessee which is why I'm happy about it, but I agree on recruiting.
That said, that well is about to run dry. Kirby Smart is building something in Athens similar to Dabo at Clemson. It's just a matter if he'll be able to beat Bama in these upcoming SEC Championships games because I don't see anyone knocking off either team (regularly) while either coach is there.
Georgia's got some DUDES. Which is why we've been recruiting many of these same players.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:03 PM ^
The 2018 recruiting class might has well be forgotten if we lose Reese and Ekiyor to Georgia and Bama
September 30th, 2017 at 5:06 PM ^
Please God No.
September 30th, 2017 at 6:34 PM ^
It's called paying players just like Clemson. There have been too many guys going home after being solid elsewhere.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
Butch Jones
September 30th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
Because Butch Jones is a garbage human being.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:24 PM ^
DON'T TALK ABOUT THE CHAMPION OF LIFE LIKE THAT YOU DISRESPECTFUL SWINE.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:57 PM ^
You all are making it sound like Iowa is losing by 4 TDs. I turned and it's 14-0? That's not awful. They've got the ball here.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:59 PM ^
Because we're watching the game. Iowa is lifeless thus far.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:02 PM ^
I understand you are, otherwise you couldn't be commenting on it.
But it's not that bad is my point.
It's not like being down 14 to MSU means you're done. They're not some offensive powerhouse who's going to keep piling it on. Or at least they haven't shown that in recent years.
If it was Oklahoma, I'd say ballgame.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:57 PM ^
next week. sparty is man handling Iowa.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
Brain tweeted that Ojemudia, who's starting at CB for Iowa, was the 124th ranked OUTSIDE LINEBACKER when he was a recruit.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:59 PM ^
That's Mario's brother, right?
September 30th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
it's impressive to watch Fromm and Swift as true frosh in the UGA backfield moving the ball.
Maybe they have a better OL coach ...
September 30th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
Or they're not still suffering from Hoke hang-over in OL recruiting. In fact, they're playing against Hoke right now, so that would expalain a lot right there.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
Both psu and msu are better than we thought they'd be coming into the season.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
It's a 7-7 game if IU's special teams didn't gift wrap 3 TDs.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:04 PM ^
Well special teams count and psu is cashing in which is what good teams do.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:08 PM ^
Everyone here who thought Penn State was badly overrated because Michigan killed them last year were always delusional.
September 30th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
No. They're better than YOU thought they would be. Some of us have been saying all along that PSU was for real and MSU always plays tough. It's mostly homers on here that have said PSU was bad. That just doesn't pass the common sense test with their returning players and coming off a confidence-building Big !0 title.
September 30th, 2017 at 4:59 PM ^
Hey look, QBs missing wide open WRs against MSU's shit secondary. Looks familiar.
September 30th, 2017 at 5:00 PM ^
Does anyone think that the Big Ten Network was given marching orders to do anything possible to fuel Saquon's Heisman candidacy?
They could cut to him drinking water on the sideline, and they'd be saying "It's INCREDIBLE how Saquon drinks water! That's the drinking form of a champion!"
September 30th, 2017 at 5:01 PM ^
No. He's been fucking incredible this year.
