Much of the 2010 college football season for Penn State is focused on the huge out of conference match-up with Alabama. Penn State versus Alabama tickets are going to be one of the toughest in college football. If however it is a Big 10 title, BCS Game, and Rose Bowl you are searching for as a Penn State enthusiast, your attention should 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 media members, and you will find plenty of opinions on how the Nittany Lions will do this season. In general, Joe Paterno has a lot of key players to replace and positions to fill, however he will need to have a good squad again in 2010. Beside a breathtaking game with Alabama on September 11, the out of conference schedule is easy with home games against Youngstown St, Kent St, and Temple (though Temple was a bowl team last year and could give the Lions a good game).
Of more curiosity and debate is actually exactly how this particular edition of the Penn State team will do in the Big 10. Most have Ohio State as the favorite in the conference, however this is no runaway contest because Penn State, Michigan State, and Wisconsin all possess great teams in 2010. Teams like Iowa and Michigan will also most likely possess some thing to say about the competition too. And all of those teams (save Wisconsin, that are not on the schedule), are going to be tough match-ups for Penn State.
But which game is the most dangerous on the docket for the Nittany Lions? There’s not any right or wrong answer to this particular questions, and you can make a disagreement for many games. Certainly, going back to Iowa on October 2 for a night game won't be simple. Keep in mind, this is where PSU’s undefeated season had been de-railed 2 years ago inside a comparable night time environment. The Hawkeyes play Penn State tough and this will be the very first Big Ten game for a young Penn State group. Penn State vs Iowa tickets will be the first tough set of Penn State football tickets in the Big 10 in 2010.
Certainly, the season finally against Michigan State, even though it is really a home game, is a difficult game. Michigan State is a nightmare for Penn State for several years, and is really a group that just has Jo Pa’s number. When the Lions head into this particular final game with a lot on the line, it will likely be nice to be playing at home, however Lions enthusiasts I’m sure might gladly be playing any other Big Ten foe.
Penn State could very easily lose several of their other Big 10 games, such as games with Illinois, from Minnesota, at Michigan, or even at home against Northwestern. There really are not any ‘gimmes’ on the schedule, though I would place the game against Indiana at FedEx field outside Washington DC almost in that class. Indiana is going to be a Big 10 basement dweller and that is going to be a virtual home game for Penn State.
For me the toughest game for Penn State in 2010 will certainly be the one against the favorites, Ohio State on November 13 in Columbus. This will most likely be the leading game of the Big 10 season and Penn State vs Ohio State tickets are going to be highly sought. Penn State usually plays OSU well, however this will be the best group they play, and actively playing them on the road won't be simple.
Irrespective, football season is getting close and 2010 should be a great year in the Big 10 for Penn State.
