2007 Penn State Nittany Lions Football Preview & Predictions
With our 2007 Penn State Nittany
Lions preview and predictions you are going to find
a team that thinks they can make a run at the Big Ten
title. After going 9-4 and 5-3 in the Big
Ten a year ago with all losses except
Michigan
on the road, this team does have potential. However,
Penn State goes to Michigan early this year, then has
back-to-back home stands against
Iowa and
Wisconsin,
then ends October with a visit from
Ohio State.
While this year they have a nice home schedule, they
will have to get past Michigan early if they want to
continue these national title fantasies the fans have
been having.

The offense only put up 22.3 pg a year go, but returns
eight starters. Anthony Morelli took care of the football last
year by throwing only eight interceptions while attempting a school
record 386 passes. The bad news is that he didn't make any big
plays, which resulted in only 11 touchdowns and a 53.9% completion rate.
With this stable of talented receivers, including Derrick Williams, Deon
Butler, and Jordan Norwood he is going to have to do more. Austin
Scott is going to most likely win the starting tailback job after
redshirting last year with a couple of injuries. The Nittany Lions
need him to stay healthy if they are going to take pressure off of the
passing game.
The line is in rebuilding more with only one returning starter
from a year ago, but Josh Gaines looks like he could be a superstar at end.
All of the newcomers looked good in the spring so don't expect a big dropoff.
If you are looking for a breather when you hit linebacker, you are going to be
mistaken. Dan Connor was a force for three years on the outside, but looks
to take over the middle man duties after Paul Posluszny left. Sean Lee
started last year and is agressive. The secondary has a bunch of young talent,
and with their speed this group should be fine.
