The Nittany Lions are 25-1 underdogs in NCAA wagering to win the national title this season. With head coach Joe Paterno going for his 400th win and running back Evan Royster going for the school rushing record, it may be a historic year for Penn State. It might not be a successful season though for Penn State in NCAA wagering unless they find someone to play quarterback.



Paterno now holds the record for most wins by an FBS football coach who is still active. He’s 1 of 3 active coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as coaches. He’s been the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions since 1996. He’s been on the Penn State coaching staff for 60 seasons, with 44 of those being as head coach, as of a year ago. He also holds more bowl wins than any coach in history with a total of 24. With 36, he tops the list of bowl appearances. He’s the sole coach that has won all the existing four major bowls – the Rose, Orange, Fiesta and Sugar bowls – along with the Cotton Bowl Classic. He now has got a record of 394-129-3.

NCAA wagering odds are most likely a little bit low on Penn State considering they would most likely have to go unbeaten for a shot at a national title. Considering they’ve got to go to Alabama, Iowa and Ohio State this season, that seems really improbable. The Penn State Nittany Lions may readily lose all 3 of those matches.

Penn State has to find a quarterback given that Daryll Clark is gone. Kevin Newsome is likely to hand off to Royster a lot this season since he will probably get the job. Royster needs just 482 yards rushing to defeat the university’s all-time mark. The Penn State Nittany Lions will likely struggle against great teams since they just don’t have much other than Royster.

Penn State’s defense is usually great and that will be the situation again in 2010. Devon Sill may be very great if he stays healthy while Jack Crawford leads the defensive line. Most of the line backing crew returns and Penn State will need them to play well given that the secondary is a problem. D’Anton Lynn is a reliable corner along with Stephon Morris yet there is very little depth at the rear of them. The special teams will be a difficulty again in 2010 because Penn State does not have a great kicker or punter.

The Penn State Nittany Lions really will be 50-1 or more to win the national title this season. They have a coach in Joe Paterno who ought to have retired ten years ago, a one-dimensional offense and an average defense. The Nittany Lions are not as great as Iowa or Ohio State and they will do well to finish 3rd in the Big 10 this season. Penn State will likely lose at least 3 of their five road games and maybe four of five. That is too many losses even if Penn State wins all of their home games in 2010.
