1. What's something you noticed during the Iowa game, that you haven't heard anyone else talk about? Could be something good, or bad.

It's surely been talked about, but it was the inability to get off the field on third down. Time and time again, Iowa just kept on driving. If the defense would have been able to stop one of a few third and 5+ yard situations last Saturday, the game is over.

2. We all know Daryll Clark won't lose his starting job, but what should the coaches really do this week? Will they, should they, let the offense open up? Or keep it tight? What will be the repercussions of either?

Go ahead and open things up. All those plays with Williams last week were great to see and for the most part, effective. Why not continue trying it? It's Indiana so they should not need to do anything wild, but hey, that was Iowa and they should not have had to do anything wild.

Stay sharp for Michigan State.

And is this "Clark should not be the QB," mentality really creeping into peoples heads?
Really?

3. If Penn State does win out, and faces USC in the Rose Bowl, what will the media folks say before the game? If PSU wins? If PSU loses?

Looks like we were already caught looking ahead once. Not gonna do it again.

Lightning Round

1. Penn State comes out focused, or flat this week?
Focused.

2. Will Pat Devlin finally play again?
No.

3. What could happen first: Notre Dame in the Big Ten, or a College Football Playoff?
The apocalypse.
