PSU fan here. Believe it or not, PSU is pretty fast. We have no one that is Holliday fast, but Devon Smith is pretty close. He had the fastest 60 time last year in high school for example.

Moye, Brown run sub 4.5s. Zug, number 5 is about 4.6, but seems to get open. Clark can be effective running. Royster, Quarless, number 10, are fast for rbs and tes.

Stephon Greene runs a sub 4.3 forty. You guys have to realize that northern teams aren't slow. but where they have maybe an adavatage is that I think they're better prepared for a variety of weather.

Up at PSU we have to play in 90+ degree weather to maybe 10 degrees. September can be 50 degrees, 90 degrees. November has been 75 and has been 10.

I think southern teams are at a disadvantage with the playing conditions when things go south because they aren't use to them, not due to any speed thing or bulk thing.

Look at Miami vs Wisconsin. Miami was huddled by sideline heaters with long under armour on while Wisconsin had on short sleeves. The fist thing I thought was what a bunch of candy a$$es when I saw that.

I don't mean any disrespect towards LSU by that last comment. Just think that being use to a wide variety of conditions allows you to adapt easier.

Having a dry track and 22 degree weather would be easier for PSU to deal with I'm sure. But here's the thing, we don't like that temperature either, haha!

That stats seem to back up my opinion that Clark just isn't that good of a QB in big games, even though he is regarded as a "threat"

Clark has won more big games than that. This stat is bandied about but they always leave out MSU this year and last, both about 30 point wins. This year PSU was fighting for a BCS berth and last year they were shooting for the Big Ten Crown. They won against Illinois at night in 08 when that was considered a big game, and beat Oregon State by about 35.

They did lose against Iowa in 08 and 08, and OSU in 09, and the Rose bowl. But there were other big games that Clark performed very well.

I'd have to check the stats from the Rose bwol, but he had a pretty decent game then also.
