Penn State Can’t Slip Up

Penn State could win out and still not make the college football playoffs, but if they lose this game, the dream is over. Since losing to Ohio State three games ago, Penn State has beaten up in back-to-back weeks on bad teams. In the last game against Purdue, the offense dominated, and they ended up winning 49-10. Drew Allar completed 17 of his 19 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns. Tyler Warren was also the top catcher and rusher. He rushed three times for 63 yards and a touchdown and also finished with eight catches for 127 yards and a touchdown. Penn State is averaging 33 points while their defense is giving up 13.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 32nd while the defense is ranked 6th. Getting out to a fast start is going to be key in this game.

Minnesota sits with a 6-4 record overall and they hope that they can play the role of spoiler in this game. Minnesota had been playing well heading into the last game against Rutgers when they laid a dude. The offense scored only 19 points and they ended up losing by a touchdown. Max Brosmer completed 27 of his 45 passes for 262 yards and a touchdown. Overall the running game has been a strength but in the last game, it wasn’t as Darius Taylor was the top rusher finishing with only 28 yards on 10 carries. 

The Gophers on the season are averaging 26.7 points while their defense is giving up 17.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 83rd in the league while the defense is ranked 12th. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up. 

Penn State vs Minnesota Prediction

I think Minnesota can win this game outright, but we will take the points to be safe. The Gophers know how to control the pace of the game and that’s exactly what they are going to do here. Minnesota is going to control the clock with their offense, and that is going to be the difference here as Minnesota is going to keep this game close, or maybe pull the upset. Back the Gophers against the spread here.
