The Penn v NP game has been nail biters every time Penn goes to NP....I expect that to be similar this year. That is a great game to broadcast. That is a shame.

Is this really the 46 game of the week? Yeah, when you have the Northwood v Warsaw game and the NP v St. Joe game could easily be more entertaining. I hope this game goes much smoother than the last couple outings v Elkhart

Not that it matters... Penn 35 Morton 0 Half

Exactly what I was worried about. Penn = pretenders

Good Luck NIC schools

We have to remember, Penn's play calling can get very predictable in parts of the game. Penn is much better than they have been since this series started. But, this group right now has shown sparks of brilliance and then shocked me with bone head plays. Now, I understand they are high school kids, but they need to be dialed in tonight to give Cathedral a scare. If we remember last season, Penn came out strong and then Cathedral owned the game after their bomb touchdown late in the first half. I think this Penn team is better than that team, if they can play a full 48 minutes like they did in the first 23 minutes of last year, we could be talking about a different outcome this year. But, it is Cathedral and I am hesitant to be positive about Penn vs Indy schools.

Cathedral wins by 21 if Penn cannot fix their mental mistakes. We are more athletic than we have been in the past 5 years, but we lack consistent mental engagement throughout the game, on both sides of the ball. Week 1, The secondary fell asleep and allowed two deep TD's.... Penn's center has a random high snap that has killed two drives this season already....that took 14 points off the board. The only way Penn keeps this game in reach is if they can tackle well and find a way to keep Cathedral's D on their heels. There is a very strong like 95% chance this is going to be the case.

It would be if they had to play them every season. If Penn does eventually go Independent, you can keep the local schools happy by playing them on a rotating schedule. Rotate the Catholic Schools and rotate the three remaining South Bend schools. If you are going to challenge yourself with a harder schedule you will need some cushion on the schedule to get players healthy.

I hope not. When the conference split Riley and Washington made it clear they did not want to play Penn. I think if Penn could strike a deal like ND where they are members in sports other than Football, it would be best for the school and program.

When you have 1:50 ish on the clock, you are at the 5yd line with two timeouts left. When we were running north and south we were gaining yards. We do not run zone plays well. Yes we should have ran the ball, Nolan could have pulled the ball on that pass play and probably scored. Things like this need to get cleaned up against Cathedral or we will be in for a long night. The high snaps also need fixed asap.

I just want Penn to keep the game close. Cathedral just got handed a convincing loss....and Penn has had mental mistakes on both sides of the ball in weeks 1 and 2. My honest opinion, I think Cathedral beats us by 21. I hope not, but it is going to come down to execution from Penn on offense and tight coverage and good tackling on D. If Penn can control the time of possession, like they did in the first half of the Mishawaka game, I think they can make the game interesting.

For week two that is a fair list.

The throw was poor. If he put something on it may have been a different result.

Mishawaka hurt themselves a couple times that really helped. Penn's biggest in season test is next against Cathedral. They need to keep it close. But, Penn might be able to make a good run in the playoffs if they stay healthy and get past Carroll.

Penn won 28-7 Great win Bremen

Any Carroll updates?

Penn 28 Mishawaka 7 5 left in the game

Penn 14 Mishawaka 7 Half Penn threw an int towards the end of the half.

I forgot how reading works.... I will enroll myself in elementary school again. I apologize. Continue on.

Valpo also took hard losses to CP and Merrillville last year as well. I expect Valpo to bounce back.

I think Carroll deserves some more respect on their name than 10. Just because they lost to HSE at HSE, does not mean they are ranked 10. I would put them around 7. I feel that getting beat by a final four team last year away from home should not be that much of a punishment.
