Around SBN: Off Tackle Empire interviews Rich Rodriguez

For the second straight game, Penn State gives a conference title contender everything they could take before finally succumbing in the final seconds. And this time the Nittany Lions did it without Talor Battle's services late--closing a 12-point deficit to just a 1-point margin in the final minute with Battle on the bench due to leg cramps.

That makes two. Can MSU make it a full three-dish co-champion combo platter tomorrow night?

They didn't make the schedule.

And if MSU wins as many games as OSU and Purdue, why wouldn’t they be deserving?

Each time

OSU/Purdue/MSU played each other the home team lost.

1 torn acl away from being 0-3 against the other two.

The records just happen to be the same. MSU deserves it as much as anyone else, but not bragging rights

I guess they’ll just hang a championship banner and not a “bragging rights” banner. I’m sure Izzo and the team will look back at it in 25 years and still be angry.

And arguably a sprained ankle away from 2-1.

Give it up. However it happened, if we win today we’ll have the same 14-4 record as the others.

We didn't lose to Northwestern

Purdue did.

We didn’t lose to Michigan or Minnesota. Ohio State did.

Take care of business in the games where you should, and you have some margin for error when the other teams don’t take care of their business.

In the interest of full disclosure

Purdue got 6 games against the bottom-feeders this year, MSU only 5. An extra game against IU this year was like money in the bank.
