And I'll be there. My daughter is playing in a tournament in NC this week and the whole team got tickets. There'll be some RU love there.

Crazy to think that we are just one game away from the NC game and it is against a Big Ten Rival Penn State.

Rutgers went 1-1 against Penn State this year, so it is really up for grabs.

I think the fact that they beat us up in the Big Ten championship game plays in our favor - revenge is a good motivator.

The key in the game is getting the first goal. Everyone says that but the RU defense/GK is so strong it would probably hold up. Also important because RU is extremely deep and will play 20-25 players - more than pretty much any other top team. Means we are a great 2nd half team because we are fresher. Penn State is extremely balanced - their advantage over us is in the offensive third. Better playmakers and finishers. Our advantage is in goal - Murphy may be best in country. Going to PK's would be very beneficial for us.
