The surreality of 2020 continues in sport. Indiana is 3-0; PSU is 0-3 (Something is organically wrong in Trumpie Valley. I don't intuit that; the players say it and Deez Nuts obliquely referred to it post-game. The local beat writers say PSU looked shockingly "spiritually unprepared" today, lackadaisical, uninterested. A first under James Franklin.) PSU was never in this game, at home, against their personal bitch, Maryland. Bottom rail on top this time. Maryland dominated, dominated PSU 35-19, the "Lions" last score a pathetic TD with 12" left in the game.
Intense angst in Ann Arbor. Indiana looked like they were playing a Div I-AA team today, having their way with Jim Harbaugh's “Wolverines" by almost an identical margin as MD's beat-down of PSU, 38-21.
What a difference getting your starting QB back for Pitt in Tallahassee. The "Panthers" destroyed Mike Novell's Semi-Holes 41-17,snapping a four game losing streak with extreme unction.
Dabo Babers lost another one in upstate. The "Pigeons" of Boston College handed the “Orangemen” their seventh loss in eight played 16-13.
In any other year Dabo and Jimbo might be gone already. Their slides in this shortened, weird season have been alarming. But every head prof of pigskin will get a pass this year. The biggest conundrum is what the heck is going on in State College, Pa. Never been anything like it in James' years there. Bitch of a thing to change, mental states. Shocking and fascinating. Keep an eye on PSU.
And Nebraska is making zero progress under Scott Frost. The "Huskers" are 0-2, were not competitive last week against OSU and lost at Northwestern today in Evanston 21-13.
