Must see game of the year: Penn State @ Michigan State

Interesting how Penn State / Ohio State and Penn State / Michigan State has become the de facto Big Ten playoff games in recent years. Who's the new kid on the block now?

My vote goes to Dantonio as the coach most likely to lose it. Remember the season ending beat down we gave his team last year? He calls 2 time outs in succession in the final seconds during freezing temperatures just out of spite. That's an amateur move for an amateur coach (see Bielma's 2 consecutive offsides kickoffs in 2006).

That's not just some ordinary press conference eruption either. That's akin to a kid throwing a tantrum at the supermarket aisle except in front of 110,000+ fans and on national television.

Let's not forget his slight emotional outburst when Michigan beat Michigan State with the "pride comes before the fall" remark or the "moment of silence" for Michigan's dominance in the rivalry prior to the game.

Agreed. The key isn't so much athletic ability as it is sure hands. Just about anybody can get open with enough offensive line protection, but catching the ball and not dropping sure completions is much more important. (I'm looking at you, Andrew Quarless) With Levi being taller than Jordan, he will be a much more important asset in the red zone passing game.

Levi fell under the recruiting radar screen. We potentially got another great player.

My understanding is he didn't play High School football last year because of the move to Texas. We know he's been taught well and knows the game. If we get the same effort from Levi as we did Jordan, we'll be seeing Norwood's in the end-zones again on Saturdays in the Fall.

Scout and Rivals are inaccurate indicators of talent most of the time. Remember that Morelli and Austin Scott were both 5 stars while players like Paul Posluszny was considered only a 3 star recruit. Then there are players that fall completely through the cracks like Butler and Norwood. If Levi will be half the player his brother was, he will be an amazing asset at Penn State. A sure handed possession receiver will be key to maintaining our passing game in the coming years.

I remember thinking the moment the flag was thrown: “Wow, we totally got a gift from the refs.” Definitely one of the “uglier” wins we've pulled off in recent memory.

another one picks Penn State instead of Pitt or Rutgers. So much for getting just leftovers.

Wooo Hooo! Forget Big Ten championships, if we're already consistently competing for the national title, imagine the possibilities with classes like this one.
