Indiana at Penn State Predictions
The Hoosiers have been struggling recently, losing their last three games by a combined score of 127-38. Their offense has been lackluster, averaging just 17.9 points per game, ranking them 125th nationally. On the other hand, the Nittany Lions have been performing well this season, with their only loss coming from a close game against Ohio State. They have a strong defense, currently ranked No. 1 in the country, and an offense that has shown flashes of brilliance, despite a less-than-stellar performance against Ohio State.
Key players to watch in this matchup include Penn State’s QB Drew Allar and Indiana’s QB Braedyn Locke. Allar, a five-star prospect, has completed 136 of 223 passes for 1,445 yards with 16 total touchdowns this season. Despite a disappointing performance against Ohio State, Allar’s arm talent cannot be underestimated. On the other side, Locke showed great poise in his starting debut against Illinois, throwing for 240 yards and two touchdowns. However, he will be up against a formidable Penn State defense that has been dominant this season.
Defensively, both teams have their strengths and weaknesses. Indiana’s run defense ranks 108th nationally, surrendering an average of 174.43 yards per game. This could be a potential area of exploitation for Penn State’s running backs Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. Penn State’s defense, on the other hand, has been stellar, allowing only 68 points against them this season. Their defensive line, featuring JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Mike Hall Jr., and Tyleik Williams, is expected to put pressure on Indiana’s offense.
