Penn St. Nittany Lions Analysis

Sophomore quarterback Drew Allar has had an impressive year so far, completing 61% of his passes for 1,445 yards, 13 touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Despite last week's loss, the Nittany Lions are still a formidable opponent.

Penn State Ready to Dominate Indiana After Difficult Loss Against Ohio State

Penn State's performance against Ohio State last week may have given some reason to doubt their CFP aspirations, however that won't be much of an issue against Indiana. As all of their wins this season have shown, Coach Franklin's team is known for their impressive offensive output. A weak run defense from the Hoosiers will certainly give PSU the opportunity to exceed the 276 yards rushing that Rutgers achieved last week. Indiana's own offense is unlikely to find success against the top tier Nittany's defense, both in the run and pass. The freshman quarterback Sorsby is likely to struggle against a formidable pass rush, and will likely be unable to break PSU downfield for positive gains.
