No. 10 Penn State at Michigan Week 4

Remember when John Cooper took a lot of heat for not beating Michigan? Joe Paterno has lost eight straight to the Wolverines. If Joe Pa wants to claim his first victory since 1996 three things must happen.

First, his defense must shut down Mike Hart and his Big 10 leading 507 rushing yards.

Second, tailbacks Austin Scott and Rodney Kinlaw need to maintain their 4.5 and 6.1 yards per carry average.

Third, Michigan's Ryan Mallet must play like a freshman quarterback.
