Blue & White Roundtable :: Boiling up a win

Purdue hosts Penn State. I thought some questions were appropriate.

The usually unusual suspects:
There is No Name on My Jersey
Tangled Up in White and Blue
Y. F. Yurasko
Happy Hour Valley
Black Shoe Diaries
The Nittany Line
We Want the Lion
Zombie Nation
Nittany Whiteout

1. Name one unit-to-unit match up Penn State must win Saturday. How does PSU win that battle?

ZN: Penn State has to get pressure on Painter, by way of the defensive line penetrating (hold the jokes) the Purdue offensive line. So, yeah, that's the big match up this week. With guys like Mo Evans and Abe Koroma back in the lineup, things will smooth out in West Lafayette.

2. This trip to Purdue is setting up to be a classic trap game. Do you agree? Why or why not?

ZN: No. Not this season. I think Penn State is on a mission, and knows it can win much more than a bowl game. But the best reason why PSU won't fall this week: They listen to Joe Paterno. He still knows how to win a championship, and this team knows that.

3. Purdue will be doing a "Black Out" this week. Putting aside that it's going to raise money for charity (each shirt sold sends money to United Way), what are your feelings on other schools organizing "[insert color here] Outs?"

ZN: No Comment.
