How good is SMU? Getting to know Penn State's College Football Playoff opponent

[@leefelix7770]

SMU is very good and the last thing we want to do is underestimating our opponent.

I think he is underestimating how loud our Stadium gets

[@pepoutdoors2735]

He compared BC and Tulane so yea I think he might be

[@heartbreak25]

​@@pepoutdoors2735The largest road stadium they played in this year was Louisville. 😂

It's not a zero factor but it's like a "we enjoy the challenge of the atmosphere"

[@heartbreak25]

@@stephenparker3740 Cowboys Stadium is not loud. It's not outdoors. And high school players don't have 95% of the fans cheering against them. Michigan has the largest stadium in the country and it's quieter than Autzen.

[@heartbreak25]

@@stephenparker3740 Arrowhead Stadium has "open sky acoustics" and is the loudest stadium in the NFL. No one cares about 40 years from now. No one cares about the weak and watered-down ACC. SMU didn't beat a single team that had a winning conference record. Can SMU win? Sure. But acting like SMU has played, let alone won, in any environment like Beaver Stadium is crazy talk.

Penn State doesn’t have the coaching to underestimate any opponent. They have to go out and totally own the game. Fight in the trenches every game.

[@kevinchandler179]

WE ARE, going to dominate the trenches in every single game in the playoffs, and that means national title game as well!!!

Good show but as a podcaster you don't have to do resets like a radio host at 7:36

Adisa Isaac is the other high draft DE pick from last year.

[@robertcremeens3166]

I think this will be a fun high scoring game to watch. I’m expecting a lot of points on both sides. It will be a shootout not some 10-7 type game. I’ll leave it at that.

[@AlphaDwg]

Don’t underestimate this team. Do I think Penn State is the better team? Clearly they are. But SMU is a dangerous team because they can be explosive on offense and their defense does a great job schematically generating pressure.

[@stevelizzio1785]

This is going to be a very competitive game … come on PSU!

[@kevinchandler179]

For the first half, then my Nittany Lions 🦁 pull away 37-17!!! WE ARE, on a mission!!!

[@raymonduscinski3721]

The question should be How Good Is Penn State?

[@brandonlong324]

Dude said they played at Tulane so they’re used to hostile crowds 😂. For reference, Tulane’s stadium holds 30,000 people and Penn State’s holds 110,000. The student section alone is over 20,000

Pony Up 🐎 SMU

[@stevejohnson2108]

I have to say this man because I hate to underestimate good football teams and SMU is a good football team. Who have they really played? PSU is battle tested in the big 10. I mean who has SMU played against and yes, I am including Clemson who I think this year are mediocre at best and they most likely be one and done. And you are telling me this team is going to come into Happy Valley and pull a win? Ok I get is we do have Franklin, and we can't underestimate his ability to F-up, nor this team beating themselves with stupid penalties, or the ability of the refs not to "see" blatant holding calls, but still.

[@teekay_1]

I was chatting with an SMU fan and I compared SMU to Illinois only a little worse and he got very insulted. I did point out that Illinois is a pretty good team, but he couldn't be assuaged

[@skylaryoung3819]

@@teekay_1That’s the team I was comparing them to as well, but I think they’re slightly better than Illinois. The unfortunate thing for SMU is that they’ve been a 2nd half team, and PSU has the #1 2nd half defense in the country and the #16 2nd half offense And obviously the stadium is going to do what the stadium does.

[@skylaryoung3819]

@ SMU 1st half offense only outscored the 2nd half offense in 4 out of 13 games… Maybe you should spend less time being defensive and more time actually researching your team😂 Way to play yourself… Must be that southern education at work.

[@skylaryoung3819]

@ and SMU put up 21 points in the 1st quarter only ONE TIME this year, what are you talking about?! You couldn’t sound any more remedial. Prolly just coping with that future loss.

[@bklynusa2213]

Wasn't Paterno the only coach who voted for SMU (11-0-1) over Penn State (11-1) in the Final 1982 Coaches' Poll?

[@PerunaMuayThai]

Paterno and Judgement don't go well together (Sandusky)

[@etexbassfreak]

SMU got screwed that year but they took care of the other Pennsylvania school that year and shut down Dan Marino. 7-3

[@josephsedilko6764]

Um um um

[@sensible65]

How about Dallas and State College

Franklin will still call it a successful season if he loses to either Smooooo or Boise. But the season will in fact be #Wasted!! ...if PSU doesn't make it to the final 4.

[@the_ap_1561]

Boise State always shows up ready to play. They were Giant killers. If PSU makes it to that game, can they completely sell out to stop the run and win?

@@the_ap_1561 One thing is almost certain, Vegas will give Boise waaaay too many points. Since the PSU defense can't tackle even if their life depended on it I am expecting a close game. But methinx PSU will score quickly while Boise grinds it out and comes up just short. It won't be an easy win for PSU.

[@kevinchandler179]

Don't matter, because we are not losing to anyone, maybe the Ducks in the national title game, but I not conceding that either!!!! WE ARE

@@kevinchandler179 The "lock o'the year" bet was playing OSU +500 to win it all. Truly...a gift from the college football gawds that everyone should take advantage of. Ass-ooming it's still OSU +500 but I booked it immediately after the playoff bracket was first announced, #EZMuny

[@Untamedlove]

This is a issue like TCU went through when they played Georgia for the championship....SMU is just a team that can't play Big Boy Football... maybe the real question who would be a tougher opponent for Penn State...? SMU or Alabama?

[@teekay_1]

Alabama. Big programs have depth where they can rotate players, particularly the o-line and d-line so it would be a bigger challenge. I don't think SMU has reached that rarified air where the second string players can compete for a starting job.
