The actual 2010 Penn State football season as usual offers plenty of great match ups, and offers Penn State football enthusiasts hoping fall would get here as quickly as possible. Penn State has numerous players to replace from last year, but as usual Joe Paterno will have a good team. You can look at any year’s schedule to find the games that often stand out, and 2010 isn’t any exception.
College football schedules are generally broken into their conference and non-conference portions and this is correct with Penn State with its Big 10 and non-conference schedule. Usually the Big 10 schedule has its dependable opponents that you know will field good or even excellent teams and make interesting match-ups. The actual non-conference schedule is really a wild card since it changes each year, and generally it includes a few cupcakes which are merely schedule fillers.
Within 2010 there is 1 premier match-up within the non-conference schedule, and it is the Penn State versus Alabama game on Sept 11. This is a dream matchup for PSU enthusiasts, and it will be the premier match up within the college football season in general. This game offers everything, history, conference versus conference drama (Big Ten versus Sec), big named coaches (Joe Paterno and Nick Saban), and the game day scene should be incredible. This is not merely the best non-conference game on the Penn State schedule, but the best on their schedule period.
Nevertheless there are many additional great games on the PSU schedule as well. The best Big 10 game is arguably the Penn State versus Ohio State football game. The Ohio State Buckeyes will probably be ranked in the top 5 or 10 once the season begins. This game is actually later within the season so things might change, but it is very likely that Penn State and Ohio State will be two of the best clubs within the Big 10, and this game frequently chooses who the champ is and who goes to the Rose Bowl. It is safe to assume that Penn State vs Illinois football tickets at home will be tough to obtain.
Besides Ohio State, the game in-conference that intrigues me personally the most is actually versus Michigan State. For some reason, Michigan State is really a thorn for PSU, and they have ruined many a good season for the Nittany Lions. This is the last game of the year, and We see there being something big on the line for each teams once they meet in late November in Happy Valley. We hate to say it, but this really is will be the nerve racking game for Penn State enthusiasts fans who are able to get a Penn State vs Michigan State football tickets.
There are other great games on the schedule, especially in conference. Penn State versus Michigan and Penn State versus Iowa tend to be each essential, significant, and interesting games. Nevertheless the overall game that must be the most discussed as much for the venue as the game may be the Penn State versus Indiana game at FedEx field outside Washington DC on November 20. This is basically the street game for Penn State that has been transformed by Indiana right into a PSU house game because they get a big paycheck, and it moves the game a lot closer to the Penn State alumni base. The actual environment will be great for Nittany fans.
There certainly are additional games on the schedule versus Minnesota, Northwestern, even Temple that’ll be closely anticipated, but the Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan State games are the ones I will be looking forward to the most.
