Much of the 2010 college football season for Penn State is concentrated on the huge out of conference match-up with Alabama. Penn State versus Alabama tickets are going to be among the hardest to get in college football. If however it’s the Big 10 title, BCS Game, and Rose Bowl you are searching for as a Penn State fan, your consideration ought to be placed more on the Big 10 part of the schedule.
As usual, the Penn State football schedule for 2010 has been dissected in every possible way by college football analysts and press members, and you’ll discover lots of views on how the Nittany Lions are going to do this season. Generally, Joe Paterno has a lot of crucial players to replace and positions to fill, but he will need to have a solid squad once again in 2010. Next to the monumental game with Alabama on Sept 11, the out of conference schedule is easy with home games against Youngstown St, Kent St, and Temple (although Temple was a bowl team this past year and could give the Lions a good game).
Of more curiosity and argument is how this particular version of the Penn State team is going to do within the Big 10. Most have Ohio State as the favorite within the conference, but this is absolutely no runaway competition because Penn State, Michigan State, and Wisconsin just about all have great teams within 2010. Teams like Iowa and Michigan will also most likely have something to say about the competition as well. And just about all of those teams (save Wisconsin, who are not on the schedule), are going to be difficult match-ups for Penn State.
But which game is the most dangerous on the docket for the Nittany Lions? There’s no wrong or right response to this particular questions, and you can make an argument for several games. Definitely, going back to Iowa on October 2 for a night game will not be simple. Remember, this is where PSU’s undefeated season had been de-railed 24 months back in a comparable night time atmosphere. The actual Hawkeyes play Penn State tough and this will be the first Big Ten game for a youthful Penn State group. Penn State Iowa football tickets will be the first tough set of Penn State tickets in the Big 10 in 2010.
Definitely, the season finally against Michigan State, though it is really a home game, is not an easy game. Michigan State has been a headache for Penn State for many years, and is really a group that simply has Jo Pa’s number. If the Lions go to this particular last game with a lot on the line, it will likely be nice to be playing at home, but Lions fans I’m sure would be happy to end up being playing any other Big Ten foe.
Penn State could easily lose several of their other Big 10 games, such as games with Illinois, at Minnesota, at Michigan, or even at home against Northwestern. Presently there truly are not any kind of ‘gimmes’ on the schedule, although I would place the game against Indiana at FedEx field outside Washington DC almost in that category. Indiana will be the Big 10 cellar dweller and that will be a virtual home game for Penn State.
For me the toughest game for Penn State in 2010 may indeed be the one against the favorites, Ohio State on November 13 in Columbus. This will probably be the leading game of the Big 10 season and Penn State vs Ohio State tickets are going to be extremely sought. Penn State usually plays OSU well, but this will be the greatest group they play, and playing them on the road will not be simple.
Regardless, football season is getting close and 2010 ought to be an excellent year within the Big 10 for Penn State.
