Free Analysis: After opening the campaign with back-to-back losses, Penn State has won six of its last seven games, the most recent of which being a 34-9 decision at Purdue last Saturday. Coach Bill O'Brien's squad is now 4-1 in conference, but is ineligible for any post season action. Getting off to a fast start has been one of the keys to PSU's solid record, as the team has out-scored its opponents 76-3 in the first quarter and 137-33 in the first half this season. Matt McGloin is the Big Ten's leading passer in terms of yards (270.7 ypg) and completions (211), while tying for first in TD passes (18). He owns the single-season school record for 200-yard passing games (seven), and he is just one away from tying the career record (16). Zwinak is the team's leading rusher with 545 yards and three TDs, while Allen Robinson has made the most of his 57 catches by turning them into 689 yards and eight scores. The Penn State defense has done a solid job this year, yielding an average of 17.1 points and 334.6 yards per contest. In its three Big Ten road wins, the team outscored the opposition, 107-30. Both Michael Mauti and Hodges has been all over the field for the Lions this season, logging 83 and 76 tackles, respectively, the two combining for 10.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 11 passes defended and four interceptions -- three of which belong to Mauti.
Nebraska brings a three-game win streak into this contest, the team having rallied late to dispose of Michigan State on the road last Saturday, 28-24. As a result, the Cornhuskers come in at 7-2 overall and 4-1 in conference, which has them tied with Michigan for the top spot in the Legends Division. Coach Bo Pelini's squad owns the tie-breaker with the Wolverines as a result of its 23-9 win on Oct. 27. The Huskers average a robust 38.0 ppg, doing so behind 487.3 total ypg. Martinez is a 62.9 percent passer who averages 215.7 ypg and has thrown 18 TDs against eight interceptions, and he is also one of the team's top ground gainers as well with 666 yards and eight scores. Abdullah heads that department with 826 yards and eight TDs, while Kenny Bell serves as the club's leading receiver with 33 grabs for 622 yards and six scores. The Nebraska defense hasn't been as stingy as in years past, as foes are averaging 25.2 ppg despite piling up just 339.1 ypg. The team's effort against the pass has been exemplary as it yields a mere 156.0 ypg through the air. The unit has tallied 24 sacks and 70 TFL, and Compton paces the Huskers with 73 total tackles.
Free Pick: I like Penn State in this one. Nebraska is off a couple of emotional games vs Michigan and Michigan State and just might not be fully up for this game. Penn State has been playing inspired football all year as they look to put behind them the Sex scandal. It will never go away, but The Lions have given their fans some pleasant distractions this year on their way to winning 6 of their last 7 games. I expect McGloin to have a solid day here and for this underrated Lions defense to come up with enough stops to keep this one close.
