Make BOILER UP yours

Purdue plays at Penn State Saturday in Happy Valley, the game kicks off at noon on ESPN. Should be a good one, we are coming off our best quarter where we scored 21 straight points, while holding the potent Northwestern offense to 0 points, 0 first downs, and 4 total yards. Hopefully that performance carries over to a place that just hasn't been a "happy" place for us seeing as we have only ever once there. PSU is coming off a beating by the #1 team in the country(sorry SEC fans they truly are #1) so here's hoping for the hangover game.

This weeks guest picker is Tiggysmum, who is a big Tennessee Volunteer fan, and I am sure a fan of Rocky Top, she also happens to be the sister of Design Goddess, so we'll see who ends up doing better. Now, on to the picks.

Purdue at Penn State
Tiggysmum- PURDUE 36 penn state 14

Phats- Well, we haven't fared well in Happy Valley, and it is probably the toughest stadium in the country to play in. The Boiler offense can not disappear if we want to win this game, I think it will be a close game that sees our ever improving defense stop Penn State to win the game
