This one is sort of, um, obvious, so let’s talk a bit about the fact that your humble correspondent has gotten the last two Penn State games wrong- I had them beating Iowa and, yes, after witnessing the Iowa game, had them losing to Illinois.
I’ve spent the last half-hour or so researching this, and I believe the last one I got wrong before these two was the Outback Bowl after the 2006 season (actually Jan. 1, 2007), in which the Lions beat Tennessee.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never before gotten two in a row wrong.
Oh yeah: Eastern Illinois. The Iowa game is still fresh enough, and personnel situation still fluid enough, that I just don’t see the Nits falling asleep.
45-10.
