The hawks at #18 in both polls while PSU at 17 and 16. PSU lost a starting D tackle last week and may have a couple more out. The hawks are showing very good depth but really cant afford to lose any starters
Some have reported that PSU giving up chunks of running yards so perhaps the hawks can be very balanced moving the ball.
One thing for sure the hawks need a quick start to help take that crowd out of it. Remember in '09 when PSU had a long quick TD pass, then a long drive which only netted 3 points. Then that great hawk defense started to smother them and before you know it the hawks were leading and the crowd was out of it.
Would love to see a repeat except with the hawks striking first and often while frustrating the PSU offense
