We just arrived at Spartan Stadium, about 90 minutes before kickoff.
And the most interesting thing so far is the weather. Rarely, have the Nittany Lions seen the sun on their previous eight trips to East Lansing since joining the Big Ten. Often, a bitter wind and some light precipitation accompanies the gray.
But today is beautiful, perfect, whatever bad adjective you find fitting. Sunny skies and temperatures in the low- to mid-50s, at least.
Of course, we're not sure what that means for the Lions, who have always struggled here, no matter of weather. Both teams would like to throw the ball, especially the Spartans. Should be good conditions for that.
The big question could be quarterback Daryll Clark and his offensive line. If the line gives him some time and he doesn't get too ansty and try to do too much, Penn State's offense will be a handful to deal with.
If not? The Lions might not even be in striking distance by the beginning of the fourth quarter. That's how drastically this one could turn.
