Q: Ron, Penn State's offense has been very explosive the first four games. Do you think it will be able to do the same kind of things against Illinois?

MUSSELMAN: Penn State has produced 29 plays of 20 yards or longer this season. Eight of those have resulted in touchdowns. Granted, the competition hasn't been the greatest, but this offense is for real. Quarterback Daryll Clark and tailback Evan Royster, both first-year starters, could be the best 1-2 punch in the Big Ten, and the offensive line and wide receivers are outstanding. I do believe the Lions will have a lot of success against the Illini.
