For Penn State’s part, there’s been strong football in all departments, save a couple of pockmarks to conference heavyweights Iowa and Ohio State.<\/p>\n

If veteran QB Daryll Clark and RB “Blue Royster Cult” Evan Royster can produce against stingy LSU, the Nittany Lions should be in good shape. <\/p>\n

LSU came up short in close games against superpowers Florida and Alabama, and lost a game they shouldn’t have to Ole Miss on Nov. 21. Other than that they too have been sharp. \"\"<\/a> A major question is whether the green QB Jordan Jefferson can produce against the Lions’ stout defense. <\/p>\n

Penn State plays old school, hit-you-in-the-mouth D; if they can set the tone against the Tigers’ pedestrian attack, Clark and Co. should be able to score enough to pull out the win. <\/p>\n

As is always the case with two versatile defenses, the turnover margin could certainly be the difference.<\/p>\n

At any rate, look to see a cluster of names of both defenses that will ring a bell in the NFL a few seasons from now. <\/p>\n

That’s how they do it in Happy Valley and Death Valley.<\/p>\n
