Much of the 2010 college football season with regard to Penn State is focused on a huge out of conference match-up with Alabama. Penn State vs Alabama tickets will be among the hardest to get in college football. However if it is the Big 10 title, BCS Game, and Rose Bowl you are looking for as a Penn State fan, your consideration should be placed more on the Big 10 portion of the schedule.
As usual, the Penn State football schedule with regard to 2010 has been dissected in every possible way by college football analysts and media members, and you will discover plenty of opinions on how the Nittany Lions will do this season. Generally, Joe Paterno has a lot of crucial players to replace and positions to fill up, but he should have a solid squad once again in 2010. Next to the monumental game with Alabama on September 11, the out of conference schedule is easy with home games against Youngstown State, Kent State, and Temple (though Temple was a bowl team this past year and might provide the Lions a good game).
Of much more interest and debate is how this 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 no runaway competition because Penn State, Michigan St, and Wisconsin just about all have great clubs in 2010. Teams like Iowa and Michigan will also likely have something to say about the race too. And just about all of those clubs (save Wisconsin, that aren’t on the schedule), will be tough match-ups for Penn State.
However which game is the most dangerous on the docket for the Nittany Lions? There’s no right or wrong response to this questions, and you can help to make a disagreement for several games. Certainly, going back to Iowa on Oct 2 for a night game won’t be simple. Remember, this is where PSU’s undefeated season was de-railed 2 years ago inside a similar night time environment. The Hawkeyes play Penn State tough and this will be the first Big Ten game for a young Penn State team. Penn State vs Iowa football tickets will be the first tough set of Penn State 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 has been a headache with regard to Penn State for several years, and is really a team that just seems to have Jo Pa’s number. If the Lions go to this last game with a lot on the line, it will likely be good to be playing at home, but Lions fans I’m sure would be happy to be playing any other Big Ten enemy.
Penn State might very easily lose a number of their other Big 10 games, including games with Illinois, at Minnesota, at Michigan, or even at home against Northwestern. There truly aren’t any ‘gimmes’ on the schedule, though I would put the game against Indiana at FedEx field outside Washington DC almost in that category. Indiana is going to be the Big 10 cellar dweller and that is going to be a virtual home game with regard to Penn State.
In my opinion the toughest game with regard to Penn State in 2010 may indeed be the one from the favorites, Ohio State on November 13 in Columbus. This will most likely be the premier game of the Big 10 season and Penn State vs Ohio State tickets will be highly sought. Penn State usually plays OSU well, but this will be the best team they play, and playing them on the road won’t be simple.
Irrespective, football season is getting near and 2010 should be a great year within the Big 10 with regard to Penn State.
