The Penn State football team is gearing up for another high-profile season, and BSD writers have come together to share their predictions for the upcoming year. Each writer has a unique perspective on how the Lions will perform, but they all agree that a strong start and wins against top opponents are crucial for success.
The staff predicts Penn State will kick off the season with three home victories against Nevada, FIU, and Villanova, followed by a close win over Oregon in the White Out game. From there, the Lions are expected to dominate their next four games, including wins against UCLA, Northwestern, and Michigan State.
However, the biggest test for Penn State comes at Iowa City, where they face off against the Hawkeyes. While some writers believe the Lions will come out on top, others see it as a potentially tough matchup. On the road at Ohio State is also expected to be a challenge, with many predicting an upset loss.
Despite these challenges, most writers believe Penn State will finish the regular season with 11 wins, likely securing their spot in the Big Ten championship game and setting themselves up for a potential rematch against Ohio State.
The consensus among the BSD writers is that Penn State’s success this year hinges on their ability to win games they are heavily favored to win. With a strong offense and talented roster, the Lions have the potential to make a deep run in the playoffs. However, it ultimately comes down to executing the game plan and overcoming challenges against top opponents.
In conclusion, while there is some variation in opinion among the BSD writers, most agree that Penn State’s 11-1 prediction is well within reach. With their strong roster and experienced coaching staff, the Lions are poised for a successful season.
