Q: Ron, what does Penn State have to do to beat Michigan?

Dan Walker, Virginia Beach, Va.

MUSSELMAN: Well, Dan, I think Penn State's defense, which has been rock-solid so far, has to contain Michigan quarterbacks Tate Forcier and Denard Robinson. If the Lions can keep them in the pocket, then they have a chance to win their first game at the Big House since 1996. Michigan has a really good running game, too, but Penn State's defense typically doesn't allow an opposing runner to pile up a bunch of yards. Coach Joe Paterno also must avoid the conservative play-calling that has hurt his team in the past in Ann Arbor, Mich.
