00:00If we go up to State College on noon on Saturday, Joe, 25 degrees, SMU from Texas, those are

00:10cold conditions.

00:11Penn State open at 7.5 at Fandul.

00:13Now we see 8.5 here, a total of 53.5.

00:17James Franklin in a big game.

00:19You're trusting them here.

00:20It's the 8.5 point favorites, Joe.

00:22No, I like a lot of dogs this weekend and maybe I'll get smashed, but I like SMU with

00:28the points.

00:29I know they started slow against Clemson, but that front seven is very difficult to

00:33run on.

00:34They're allowing opposing offenses only 2.6, 2.7 yards per carry.

00:39They held Clemson to 62 yards.

00:42And again, if Penn State is going to win this game and win it by margin, they still need

00:45the rushing attack.

00:46They rushed for 292 against Oregon.

00:49But again, they need that type of effort, I think, to pull this game out against SMU.

00:54Playing at home, I think there's pressure for James Franklin.

00:56I'm going to take SMU.

00:58I think they have the mobile quarterback.

01:00They have the more consistent quarterback as well.

01:02Jennings over Aller.

01:04Never trust Drew Aller in a big spot.

01:06Give me SMU and I wouldn't be shocked if they strike the upset in Happy Valley Saturday

01:11afternoon.
