College football schedules are generally broken into their conference and non-conference schedule and this is true with Penn State with its Big 10 and non-conference schedule. Usually the Big 10 schedule has its dependable competitors that you know will field good or very good groups and produce challenging match-ups. The non-conference schedule is a wild card since it changes every year, and usually this includes a few cupcakes that are simply schedule fillers.
In 2010 there's one premier match-up within the non-conference schedule, and it is the Penn State versus Alabama game on Sept eleven. This can be a dream matchup with regard to PSU fans, and it will be a premier match up within the college football season in general. This game has it all, history, conference vs conference drama (Big Ten vs Sec), big named coaches (Joe Paterno and Nick Saban), and the game day scene ought to be incredible. This is not merely the best non-conference game on the Penn State schedule, but the best on their schedule period.
However there are several additional great games on the PSU schedule as well. The premier Big 10 game is arguably the actual Penn State versus Ohio State football game. The Ohio State Buckeyes will likely be ranked in the top five or ten once the season starts. This game is actually later in the season therefore things could change, however it’s very likely that Penn State and Ohio State will be two of the best clubs within the Big 10, and this game frequently decides who the champ is and who would go to the Rose Bowl. Its a safe bet that Penn State vs Illinois tickets at home will be tough to get.
Besides Ohio State, the game in-conference that intrigues me the most is versus Michigan State. For whatever reason, Michigan State is a thorn for PSU, and they have destroyed numerous a good season for the Nittany Lions. Here is the final game of the year, and I see there being something large on the line for each teams when they meet in late November in Happy Valley. We hate to express this, but this really is will be the nerve racking game with regard to Penn State fans fans who are able to obtain a Penn State vs Michigan State ticket.
There are more great games on the schedule, particularly in conference. Penn State versus Michigan and Penn State vs Iowa are each essential, meaningful, and interesting games. However the game that probably will be the most talked about just as much for the venue as the game may be the Penn State versus Indiana game at FedEx field outside Washington DC upon November 20. This really is basically a street online game with regard to Penn State that has been converted through Indy right into a PSU house game simply because they get a large paycheck, and it moves the game much closer to the Penn State alumni base. The actual environment will be great with regard to Nittany fans.
There certainly are additional games on the schedule vs Minnesota, Northwestern, even Temple that will be closely anticipated, however the Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan State games would be the ones I’ll be looking forward to the most.
