Sorting Through The Match-Ups On The 2011 Penn State Football Schedule

The 2011 Penn State football schedule is out and that means analysts, supporters, and everyone in between can start the entire process of projecting wins and losses for Joe Paterno’s 2011 squad.

When examining the actual 2011 Penn State football schedule, you see many familiar things, a very difficult finish to the schedule, and a leading out-of-conference match-up at home that will get attention from all associated with college football. In This year Penn State has their own usual slate of home and away Big Ten conference games, but has it back loaded with season ending games at Wisconsin and Ohio State. However the majority of fans will be focusing on the early season match-up with Alabama. Penn State vs Alabama football tickets will be probably the most difficult to get this year.

This past year Penn State went to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to play the Crimson Tide at the start of the season for a match-up of 2 of college football traditional programs. Alabama was among the nation’s top groups and was rated #1 at that time. The game had lots of hype, and plenty of PSU fans made the actual journey, however the team was frankly overmatched. Penn State lost the game 24-3.

This season the game comes to State College, Pennsylvania and while Alabama will still be a very talented opponent, likely rated in the top 10, the game should be more equally matched. Irrespective, it’ll just as hyped not only between the Two fan bases but across the college football landscape in general. Also like this past year, it’ll provide lots of motivation for that program and players through the entire off-season getting this type of strong opponent entering Beaver Stadium so early in the season.

Beyond the Alabama game, Penn State has bracketed three extra out-of-conference games around Bama before getting in to Big Ten play. The additional OOC competitors are all from mid-major conferences, including I-AA opponent and opening opponent Indiana State. Penn State also plays at Temple and also at home versus Eastern Michigan in September.

Once Big Ten perform begins, Penn State has home games against Iowa, Purdue, Illinois, and new Big Ten fellow member and immediate Penn State rival Nebraska. Road games come against Indiana, Northwestern, and the prior mentioned games at Wisconsin and Ohio State to end the season. While the home and away competitors tend to be fairly well balanced in the Big Ten, the final Two road games make the schedule overall being on the challenging aspect.

There’s a new reward for Penn State this year past their own usual objectives of a Big Ten Championship, Bowl Game, and BCS Championship. All those continue to be objectives, but this year is the inagurual year for the Big Ten Championship game on December 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. Winning the actual ‘Leaders’ Division would mean topping OSU and Wisconsin, but would place Penn State in the game.
