"Peg me in for the Ducks. Quack! Quack!"

 

Wow, I never thought I'd see that!

 

 

Who'd have thought. Booger McFarland, Finebaum's ESPN colleague had some good things to say about Oregon, how they had really not gotten the respect usually given to a unanimous No.1, then proceeded to pick osu2. But not Paul. F

Go, Ducks!

I believe Penn State is better than Georgia and Notre Dame.

PAW-WAA-WAA L. Finebum... shall be his new moniker, should the vaunted S-E-Sheesh bow out of the CFP short of the final.

Finebaum? Meh. Finebaum has relentlessly called for Day to be fired. This is 'keeping in his own lane,' right?

 

Dan wears Finebaum Teflon due to his stints working for Saint Nick 😇 and He's So 🤓 Smart.

We'll see I guess. I am a bit skeptical but will own up to it if I am wrong.

I'm definitely not saying this out of preference. If Beck was still at QB, no doubts. But losing the starting QB has to account for something, and maybe it is recency bias, but Penn State just scares me now.

Penn State shouldn’t scare you.  Especially if you heavily scrutinized their playoff game.

 

We made them look much better on offense than they are in my opinion.  I was extremely disappointed in their offense.  They reverted right back to how they played Ohio State.

 

I’m not impressed.  I think they ransack Boise State, but they will have trouble scoring in the Semi Finals.  

Before I opened this thread I hoped that he was picking anOhio State, on account of him being a hack and all.  Now I’m worried.

 

Not really.

I applaud almost all of this post with one exception: I am not sure PSU ransacks Boise State. In fact, if Boise can play ball control with their run game, they could be in this one until the very end. However, I have not watched Boise very much this year and could be very wrong, but I am certainly not cowed by Penn State.

Ironically, it was BSU's QB that impressed me.  I was sure PSU would shut Jenty down, and  keep Boise under ten points.  They did get a cheap TD off of a blown coverage, but BSU's QB played much better than I expected.

 

Again, Penn State under performed.  They really can't throw the ball.  Not enough to win the big games.
