Nittany Lions welcome Golden Gophers to Happy Valley
University Park, PA (Sports Network) - The 14th-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions return to Big Ten play this weekend, as they welcome the Minnesota Golden Gophers to Beaver Stadium.The Lions stepped away from the Big Ten last weekend and continued their non- conference dominance with a 52-3 thrashing of Eastern Illinois, a FCS program.
"We had a chance to play some of the young kids," said Joe Paterno, who faced his 83rd different opponent as a coach. "We did some things better than we had been."
PSU, which has won 31 of its last 34 games in Beaver Stadium, wrapped up its non-league slate a perfect 4-0, outscoring its opponents by a 142-23 count. The Lions however, dropped one of their rare home outings to Iowa (21-10) in their league opener last month, although they did rebound with a 35-17 triumph of Illinois in their only other conference bout.
As for the Gophers, they improved to 2-1 within the conference following a solid 35-20 triumph of Purdue this past weekend.
"Obviously, I'm very proud by the response of our players who had a tough game last week," said head coach Tim Brewster. "To come back and respond like we did today at home during Homecoming, it just made it very meaningful for our team."
Minnesota was coming off a narrow 31-28 loss to Wisconsin that could have had the team undefeated in league play heading into this weekend, but the squad recovered nicely to improve to 4-2 on the campaign. Unfortunately, the Gophers are now set to face the toughest part of their schedule, with Ohio State and Michigan State on deck.
The Gophers and Lions are clashing for just the 11th time on the gridiron and PSU owns a slight 6-4 edge in the series. PSU has won two straight over Minnesota, including a 28-27 overtime victory in the most recent meeting in 2006.
The Gophers finally got their ground game going this past weekend, gaining 207 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Purdue. The team still hasn't had a 100-yard rusher in any game, but the offense did nearly double its season average of 114.5 rushing ypg and that has to be encouraging. Duane Bennett and DeLeon Eskridge have carried most of the load, but last weekend Kevin Whaley caught the eye of the coaches by rushing for 79 yards and a touchdown on just eight carries.
"He did a nice job," said coach Brewster about Whaley. "He really does a nice sticking his feet in the ground and making cuts. I'll tell you he's a physical guy for his size and we're really pleased with him."
Whaley is redshirt freshman who missed part of last season after suffering a gunshot wound in a drive-by shooting, and he has speed and explosiveness to ignite this ground game.
Perhaps Whaley's play-making ability with rub off on quarterback Adam Weber, who has struggled with consistency and has thrown just six touchdowns against eight interceptions. Weber wasn't needed much last weekend and he struggled with few pass attempts, completing 5-of-9 tosses for 74 yards and two picks.
Eric Decker is Weber's favorite target and an All-American candidate, but he was even limited to just three catches for 50 yards against Purdue. It was clearly the worst performance of the year for Decker, one of the nation's top wideouts with 46 catches, 689 yards and five scores on the year.
Minnesota had some trouble slowing down Purdue, allowing 402 total yards, but the defense overcame those yards by forcing three turnovers and recording two sacks.
The Gophers have been able to come up with big plays through the year and that helps explain how they are allowing just 23.8 ppg despite surrendering 381.2 total ypg. The defense has generated 13 turnovers and 12 sacks, though, it still needs to improve against both the run (162.7 ypg) and pass (218.5 ypg).
Lee Campbell heads the roster with 64 tackles on the season and that includes 6.5 for losses. He was on top of his game last weekend, recording 11 stops and his first interception of the campaign.
As expected, PSU ripped through EIU over the weekend, using 285 rushing yards and 268 passing to cruise to victory. The Lions have shown balance between the run (188.7 ypg) and pass (227.8 ypg), and this offense revolves around quarterback Daryll Clark. A dual-threat, Clark was sharp last weekend, throwing for 234 yards and three scores and adding a fourth touchdown on the ground.
"It felt great and it was really nice to see everybody get a chance to play today," said Clark. "We felt that if we take care of business, execute every single time we got on the football field, we could go out there and play the way we did today and I'm real happy."
The senior is a leader and the focal point of this offense and he has thrown for 1,367 yards and 12 touchdowns, while rushing for 111 yards and three more scores. Clark has had success in spreading out the ball though, Derek Moye and Chaz Powell have caught half of his touchdown passes. Powell finished with four receptions for 79 yards and a score last weekend, while Moye posted two catches for 43 yards and a touchdown.
In the backfield, Evan Royster went for 94 yards on just eight carries against EIU and he continues to lead this solid ground game with 504 yards behind a 5.8 yard per carry average.
The Lions bring one of the top defenses in the nation to the table and they are limiting opponents to a mere 10.2 ppg and just 255.7 total ypg. The unit has been dominant against the run, allowing 81.8 rushing and two scores, and has also had success bringing down opposing quarterbacks, recording 20 sacks.
Last weekend, PSU threw its weight around and held EIU to just 206 total yards, including only 59 rushing on 32 attempts. The defense added five sacks, to go with a pair of forced turnovers, one of which was a 91-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Navorro Bowman.
"I'm glad for Bowman and glad for the defense, which is starting to make some things happen," said coach Paterno.
Jared Odrick continued to play a big part and he had two sacks and 3.5 TFLs last weekend, Despite facing consistent double-teams, Odrick has done well to bring pressure and he now has four sacks and seven TFLs to his credit. The PSU defense however, is still playing without one of its premier players in Sean Lee, who has missed the last three games with a sprained left knee. The talented linebacker had 32 stops and two sacks through the first three game and is listed as questionable for this weekend.
