NCAA Football With Shobe: Week 7
I'm not writing an update here this week because the good folks over at Fanblogs.com have decided to give me some space to carve out as my own in the Big Ten section of their site. Fanblogs includes a wide community of authors from conferences all across the country and is a pretty lively place for opinion and discussion of all things collegiate and football-shaped. Look for my latest posting on Purdue and Penn State's seesaw battle in Happy Valley this past Saturday; I'll probably cross-post both here and at Fanblogs in the coming weeks.
With that out of the way, I'd like to also point out that I'll be at Purdue for both of the key upcoming matchups against Wisconsin and Michigan, so I'll try to photoblog on-campus happenings and work those into my updates as well. Here's hoping ESPN College Gameday brings its convoy to West Lafayette before October is out! I gotta think there's an excellent shot of them coming to town for the Michigan game if the Boilers can pick their way through the best defense in the country first. That's right -- Wisconsin owns the stingiest line in all the land, having given up just 198 yards per game on average. This much is for sure: Orton's Heisman campaign isn't going to be short on challenges this month.
