J. Dozier 6'0", 215 lbs. another running back who is 6'1", 230 lbs. (a BRUISER) - A terrific offensive line - A whole flock of good receivers - Top-notch linebackers - Great coach (uh, I think his name is, yeah, that's right, Paterno) FIRST GAME: whooped a top-ranked (preseason #1) Maryland team AT Maryland! SECOND GAME: Took care of Temple, a team that almost beat Boston College. REMAINING GAMES: Alabama, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh (will win 2 out of 3) The rest are easy (will win 7 out of 7) That leaves them with an 11-1 record at season end. With a little bit of luck, they will be 12-0 at season end. Plus, they don't play a schedule like BYU plays (e.g., Mother Mary of the Sisters Bertrille College of Marymount). Actually, this is one of PSU's easier schedules in a number of years. Paterno went after the tough schedules because he believes it makes his team better AND, most importantly, it gives them a better chance to become #1. - David "Yes, you guessed it, a Penn Stater" Vacca Burroughs "Yes, you guessed it, hires Penn Staters" Corporation PS: I would love to see Penn State, or for that matter, any team from the following, play BYU: 1) Nebraska 2) Auburn 3) Iowa 4) Maryland 5) UCLA "please, can I see it one more time?????" 6) Ohio State
