In case you missed it, the Greg Paulus Challenge got underway two weeks ago. You can find the scoring rules here. This week, Penn State overran Syracuse early, never leaving the game in doubt. Paulus threw some catchable passes (14-20), but the offense was overwhelmed for most of the game by the quicker Penn State defenders. Points wise, PSU was unable to smash Paulus enough to get by Mini, sacking him twice, picking him twice, and forcing 6 incompletions. Minnesota hangs on. Next up, Northwestern!

Thoughts on PSU-'Cuse...

The tastefully named Graham Zug looked fantastic, leading PSU in receiving yards.

Penn State's 4-3 has basically been untested through two games. Sean Lee looks like a monster, a nice nickname could be "The Janitor" because he cleans up running plays quickly and effectively.

Nothing is working in the PSU run game; not sweeps, draws, straight dives.
