Ask and ye shall receive.

I saw that tweet earlier today as well.. That's crazy.

2) 127 players on the roster and 14 of which are True Sr's
3) Sophomores account for another 28 players
4) Jr's make up 20 more
5) 8 walk-ons on their kickoff coverage team

1) 13 - 7.... under sanctions

3) 18 -2....PSU held the lead in 18 or their 20 games played under sanctions

They also scored 24 against a bad Indiana defense. Bowling Green is the only FBS school to not score at least 41 on them.

By "them" I assume you mean Indiana. I think a better comparison would be how PSU has done in all of their games, not just one - follows:

08/31/13 vs. Syracuse TV MetLife Stadium; East Rutherford, N.J. W, 23-17
09/07/13 vs. Eastern Michigan TV University Park, Pa. W, 45-7
09/14/13 vs. UCF TV University Park, Pa. L, 34-31
09/21/13 vs. Kent State TV University Park, Pa. W, 34-0
10/05/13 at Indiana * TV Bloomington, Ind. L, 44-24
10/12/13 vs. Michigan * TV University Park, Pa. W, 43-40 (4OT)
10/26/13 at Ohio State * TV Columbus, Ohio L, 63-14
11/02/13 vs. Illinois * TV University Park, Pa. W, 24-17 (OT)
11/09/13 at Minnesota * Minneapolis, Minn. TBA
11/16/13 vs. Purdue * University Park, Pa. TBA
11/23/13 vs. Nebraska * University Park, Pa. TBA
11/30/13 at Wisconsin * Madison, Wis. TBA

The only bad performances from PSU this year have been the @Indiana game (22-44) and @OSU (14-63). And one can hardly blame the latter, OSU is an elite team.

This seems like a good time to face PSU, however, as their past two outings haven't been great (the OSU loss and a mediocre performance vs. Illinois at home).

PSU has, perhaps, the best WR in the B1G in Allen Robinson (he vice J. Gallon?) - he is one of the best WRs in the nation. They have an elite freshman QB in Hackenberg, and a RB/OL who is just starting to really figure things out in Bill Belton. That Illinois held PSU to 17 points in regulation is a real mystery. PSU's problem is their defense, more than their offense. Given the Gophers' D, expect to give up ~20-30 points. The offense needs to come to play again, as anything less than a good performance on that side of the ball will make victory difficult.
 

Line is Minnesota -2.5 as of this morning
 

Yep Capt. 07, books in Reno and Las Vegas and some off-shores will give the Penn State bettors 2.5. Besides those listed the Las Vegas Review Journal is saying that the books at the Wynn Casinos have also now moved to 2.5.

Have to admit, as a Gopher fan, it still seems kind of "weird" to watch a spread going UP for the Gophers.

Yes, more money came in betting on PSU at -2.5 to -3 results in Vegas wanting more money on MN to equalize dollars on both sides.
