The Penn State Nittany Lions are 25-1 underdogs in NCAA wagering to win the national championship this year. 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. Unless they find someone to play quarterback, it may not be a successful year though for Penn State in NCAA wagering.



Paterno presently holds the record for most victories by an FBS football coach who is still active. He’s 1 of three active coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as coaches. Since 1996, he’s been the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions. He’s been on the Penn State coaching staff for 60 seasons, with 44 of those being as head coach, as of last year. With a total of 24, he also holds more bowl victories than any coach in history. He tops the list of bowl appearances with 36. He is the sole coach that has won each of the current 4 major bowls – the Rose, Orange, Fiesta and Sugar bowls – as well as the Cotton Bowl Classic. He presently possesses a record of 394-129-3.

NCAA wagering odds are almost certainly somewhat low on Penn State thinking about they would almost certainly have to go unbeaten for a shot at a national championship. Considering they’ve got to go to Alabama, Iowa and Ohio State this year, that seems extremely not likely. The Penn State Nittany Lions may simply lose all three of those contests.

Because Daryll Clark is gone, Penn State has to find a quarterback. Kevin Newsome is likely to hand off to Royster a lot this year since he will likely get the job. Royster requires just 482 yards rushing to break the school’s all-time mark. The Nittany Lions don’t have much other than Royster which is why they are likely to struggle versus good teams.

Penn State’s defense is normally good and that should be the situation again in 2010. Devon Sill may be pretty good if he stays healthy while Jack Crawford leads the defensive line. Most of the line backing crew comes back and Penn State will need them to play well since the secondary is a worry. D’Anton Lynn is a sound corner as is Stephon Morris yet there is quite little depth at the rear of them. The special teams will be a issue again in 2010 because Penn State doesn’t have a great kicker or punter.

The Penn State Nittany Lions really should be 50-1 or higher to win the national championship this year. They have a one-dimensional offense, an average defense and a coach in Joe Paterno who should have retired a decade ago. The Nittany Lions are not as good as Iowa or Ohio State and they will do well to finish 3rd in the Big 10 this year. Penn State will most likely lose at least three of their 5 road games and perhaps 4 of 5. That is too many losses even if Penn State wins all of their home games in 2010.
