Penn State (4) -- Ad opens with the school fight song as the Nittany Lions run onto the field in old-fashioned throwback uniforms -- no, wait, those are the current uniforms. As the highlight reel of eight straight victories rolls, we hear commentary from a famously nasally back-East voice: "I'm Joe the Pa, and I'm the person every American voter should keep in mind come Election Day. In this time when so many senior citizens are facing uncertainty, wouldn't you feel guilty about keeping me out of the national championship game if we run the table? I'd be one more old person shoved aside by The System -- just as I was that old person shoved aside in 1994 with an undefeated team. Well, now I'm even older. And for all of you constantly criticizing the Big Ten for past BCS performances, understand this: if you wanted to play against Ohio State, you should have made it to the BCS title game the last two years. We are not Ohio State. We are … Penn State."

I'm psyched to see Maurice Evans (and the rest of the d-line) tear it up, I met the kid outside Canyon Pizza a year or two back one saturday night... he's a beast. I think this line is clearly going to be our best asset on defense this year. That and Anthony Scirrotto. What are everyones thoughts/concerns on the rest of the defense?
