Week 7 FBS College Football Part 2

This is Steven West with your FBS College Football update.


Penn State head coach, Joe Paterno, may not be on the sidelines again this Saturday for the Nittany Lions match against Wisconsin.  Paterno, was in the coach's box for the game on Saturday against Purdue.  The 6th ranked Nittany Lions, (6-0) face a tough three game schedule.  After Wisconsin, they host Michigan, then travel to the Horseshoe to take on Ohio State.  A win against the Buckeyes could give the Nittany Lions the outright Big Ten title.  Purdue is struggling in head coach Joe Tiller's final year at the helm of the Boilermakers.  Tiller will start Curtis Painter, despite benching Painter in the fourth quarter against Penn State.  Painter will take on an Ohio State pass defense ranked in the top 15 this year.
