Lions to end Big Ten play against MSU By Matt Fortuna COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER A Penn State win over Michigan State will give the Nittany Lions a 4-0 road record, potentially clinch a berth in a BCS bowl game and salvage a two-loss season that began with national title-aspi rations. Right, Joe Paterno? "You know, you guys know more than I do," the coach said. "The only thing I know is we're playing Michigan State this week Don't make a darn bit of difference. You guys speculate all you want. If we don't beat Michigan State, none of that makes any ... none of it's important. So I don't waste time with it." Paterno is simply preparing Penn State for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, when it will take on Michigan State (6-5, 4-3 Big Zen) inside Spartan Stadium in the two teams' regular-season finale.
