Penn State and Indiana enter this weekend's Big Ten Leaders Division match-up in State College looking to get back in the win column after tough losses last week. Penn State's controversial loss at Nebraska still has many fans upset about officiating. Indiana  dropped back to reality last week with a blowout home loss to Wisconsin.

Given the ugly performance last season in Bloomington many are expecting Penn State's offense to be able to put together a better performance this weekend but the Hoosiers have a history of keeping things closer than expected against Penn State every now and then. Could this game be a trap game that catches Penn State off guard coming off a tough loss and a week before hosting Wisconsin? Probably not with this team, but the Blue White Roundtable is here to take a look at the current state of the team.

Be sure to visit Black Shoe Diaries later for a full round-up from the Penn State blogosphere.

1. We have to start with officiating. One offensive holding called in Penn State's favor since the Northwestern game. The sideline encroachment penalty after the punt. The Matt Lehman touchdown that wasn't. What's going on here?

Obviously the world is out to get Penn State. What else could possibly be the case? I mean, besides the fact that officiating across the country is highly questionable these days with multiple camera angles and constantly running video that captures ever facet of the sport.

I have never been one to suggest there is a conspiracy theory, but I can see why so many Penn State fans would be upset lately. There have been some grossly blown calls and non-calls in the last month's worth of games, but of course there have been some plays that have gone in Penn State's favor if you want to be fair about it. It is just that the calls and non-calls against Penn State have had more of an impact on the end-results.

I don't think there is any excuse for the Matt Lehman touchdown-fumble. That was just blatantly missed for whatever reason. The sideline encroachment penalty was also a strange call to make considering the play had already been completed. Is there a conspiracy? I will leave that for others to determine. Hire Louis Freeh! Or not...

When the 2012 football campaign started Zach Zwinak was a name on the roster that most weren’t too familiar with. The sophomore had very little game experience, only rushing the ball 3 times last year, and wasn’t the marquee running back in preseason.

Dear Students,

I’ve noticed where you guys have written some open letters to alumni before big games telling us what to wear and pleading for noise – the most recent being this year’s Ohio State game.

I have to admit I like the idea so I’m returning the favor as we head into the final two games of the season.

First of all, let me just say that I love you guys. I spent more years than I care to remember sneaking back into the student section so I can stand and yell the whole game without being told to sit down. I did it until it was just way too obvious that I didn’t belong there and retreated to my regular season ticket seats where I’ve had to deal with people four rows back telling me to sit down. Ugh.

The point is – I am one of you guys – just older.

So I must say that I’ve read with a mix of concern and despair that many of you have decided you won’t be at the Indiana and Wisconsin games because you’re going to go home and - gulp - stay home.

Today is former Miami Hurricanes and long-time NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde's birthday. To celebrate, we dug up this photo from the Sports Illustrated archives, which for some reason shows Testaverde wearing a Penn State sweatshirt New York's LaGuardia Airport with girlfriend Jacqui Alleque.

You all saw it – dozens of times by now.

Penn State tight end Matt Lehman stretched the ball with two hands on it to the goal line trying to score the go-ahead touchdown. The ball got knocked loose. The officials ruled the ball came out before it crossed the goal line. Fumble. Touchback. Nebraska ball and Nebraska maintained the lead.

Only it wasn’t a fumble. It was a touchdown that wasn’t.

You’ve all read about it – and there will be plenty of opinions out there for you to sift through. So I tried really hard to come up with something other than 600 more venom spewing words on how a blown call – on the field and by replay – cost Penn State a win Saturday at Nebraska.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t. So here are the simple ABCs of the touchdown that wasn’t.

The staff here at Nittany Lions Den has a bit of a mixed opinion on this week's game, with Penn State looking to continue their road dominance in Big Ten play at Nebraska.Can Penn State improve to 4-0 on the road in Big Ten games before returning home to wrap up the 2012 season at home, keeping their Leaders Division championship scenarios in play? Or will Nebraska prove to be too much for Penn State this week and send them back home with a loss?

Here is how we are going on record with this week's game. Feel free to add your thought sin the comments section as well.

Penn State-Nebraska.

Two big names in college football history squaring off against each other with conference title hopes on the line. It doesn’t get much bigger than that.

This is another chance for members of this football team to play in a great atmosphere. Another chance for them to play on a national stage. Another chance to showcase Bill O’Brien’s team to recruits.

As the Ohio State game was two weeks ago, this is another one of those bigger than life games the Nittany Lions get to play. Add in the fact that it’s going to over 70 degrees Saturday in Lincoln and this will be a better atmosphere than all but a few bowl games.

It’s just nine games into Bill O’Brien’s tenure and just nine games into the severe NCAA sanctions, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that Penn State football will not become irrelevant over the next four years.

Penn State travels to Nebraska this weekend in what could be a very entertaining game. Penn State has played well on the road in conference play with dominating wins at Iowa, Illinois and Purdue but Nebraska will clearly be the stiffest test faced on the road this season.

It is time to reflect on the state of the football program with this week's edition of the Blue White Roundtable. As usual, the participants this week consist of Joe Pa's Doghouse, The 50-Yard Lion, and our gracious round-up hosts from Black Shoe Diaries. This week we also welcome Victory Bell Rings to the fray.

So husk some corn and get your popcorn ready. It's Blue White Roundtable time.

1. Purdue seemed to catch Penn State sleeping on their first drive of the game, and the team looked a bit sluggish early in the game. Was this an Ohio State hangover? Or have teams begun to catch on to the Penn State game plan?

I think it is possible Purdue caught Penn state at the right time, but I also believe Purdue was playing on a bit of an adrenaline rush, knowing they needed to get a win with a quarterback who gave them some life too late in the game the previous week. Teams may be catching on to what Penn State is doing, but for now only a handful of teams will have the athletic stamina to be able to slow them down too much. Ohio State was able to do it, and Nebraska might be the next physically capable of doing so.
