Which Big Ten Game is the Biggest Chance for a Loss for Penn State in 2010?

Much of the 2010 college football season with regard to Penn State is concentrated on a huge out of conference match-up with Alabama. Penn State versus Alabama tickets will be one of the toughest in college football. If however it is a Big 10 title, BCS Game, and Rose Bowl you are looking for as a Penn State enthusiast, your consideration ought to be placed more on the Big 10 portion of the schedule.

As usual, the Penn State football schedule with regard to 2010 has been dissected in every possible way by college football analysts and press members, and you’ll discover lots of views on how the Nittany Lions will do this season. Generally, Joe Paterno has a lot of crucial players to replace and positions to fill up, however he should have a good squad again in 2010. Next to a monumental game with Alabama on Sept 11, the out of conference schedule is easy with home games against Youngstown State, Kent State, and Temple (although Temple was a bowl team this past year and might give the Lions a good game).

Of much more curiosity and debate is actually how this particular edition of the Penn State team is going to do within the Big 10. Most have Ohio State as the favorite within the conference, however this is absolutely no runaway competition as Penn State, Michigan St, and Wisconsin all possess great clubs within 2010. Teams like Iowa and Michigan will also most likely possess something to say about the competition as well. And all of those clubs (save Wisconsin, who aren’t on the schedule), will be tough match-ups for Penn State.

But which game is the most dangerous on the docket for the Nittany Lions? There’s no right or wrong answer to this particular questions, and you can make an argument for many games. Definitely, going back to Iowa on October 2 for a night game will not be simple. Keep in mind, this is where PSU’s undefeated season had been de-railed 24 months ago inside a similar night time environment. The Hawkeyes play Penn State tough and this will be the very first Big Ten game for a youthful Penn State group. Penn State Iowa football tickets will be the first tough set of Penn State tickets in the Big 10 in 2010.

Definitely, the season finally against Michigan State, though it is really a home game, is not an easy game. Michigan State is a nightmare with regard to Penn State for several years, and is really a group that just has Jo Pa’s number. If the Lions head into this particular last game with a lot on the line, it will likely be nice to be playing at home, however Lions fans I’m sure would gladly end up being playing any other Big Ten enemy.


Penn State might easily lose several of their own other Big 10 games, including games with Illinois, from Minnesota, at Michigan, or even at home against Northwestern. There really aren’t any kind of ‘gimmes’ on the schedule, although I’d place the game against Indiana at FedEx field outside Washington DC almost in that class. Indiana is going to be a Big 10 basement dweller and that is going to be a virtual home game with regard to Penn State.

In my opinion the toughest game with regard to Penn State in 2010 may certainly be the one against the favorites, Ohio State on November 13 in Columbus. This will probably be the leading game of the Big 10 season and Penn State vs Ohio State tickets will be highly sought. Penn State usually plays OSU well, however this will be the best group they play, and playing them on the road will not be simple.

Regardless, football season is getting close and 2010 ought to be a great year within the Big 10 with regard to Penn State.
