Penn State: What to Watch

Read on for the staff predictions. When asked if there was a game this year that MI “laid an egg”, Harbaugh responded, “No, the egg analogy doesn’t resonate with me”.

And that’s what Michigan’s defense did, despite being flagged for 10 of the Wolverines’ 13 penalties.

Penn State was able to take advantage of a blocked punt by Von Walker late in the second.

Jehu Chesson torched IN last week and continues to be Rudock’s go-to target as the Wolverines’ fastest downfield threat. The Wolverines finished with 13, while Penn State only had three. Backup Trace McSorley entered, fired an incomplete and Penn State let go one of its six punts on the afternoon.

Michigan has won three straight since losing 27-23 to Michigan State. “That’s a good football team”.

Jake Rudock threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns as No. 12 MI beat Penn State 28-16 Saturday.

For the third consecutive week, Jake Rudock, originally dubbed as a game manager, led MI to a win with his arm. And never forget the X-factor in Jabrill Peppers, who is a game changer for the Wolverines.

Today’s Michigan Wolverines vs Penn State Nittany Lions college football game has a start time schedule of noon eastern time and airs on TV channel ABC. It was a pretty terrible day for Christian Hackenberg and company.

■What happened:MI couldn’t run the ball – what’s new, right?

Jim Harbaugh was sure after Saturday’s win over Penn State that his team was ready for a shot to compete for its first Big Ten title in over a decade. Franklin is badly in need of a signature win with year two of his regime expected to end with another seven-win season, and an even hotter seat. The Nittany Lions are 11th in the Big Ten in rushing the ball…however somehow, Penn State HB Saquon Barkley is third in the conference in rushing.

ABOUT PENN STATE (7-3, 4-2): Senior defensive end Carl Nassib broke the Nittany Lions’ single season sack record (15.5) in the loss to Northwestern and has at least one sack in each of his last 10 games. “We faced a lot of adversity this year but it’s so special to have our names up there as one of the better teams in the Big Ten and one of the better teams in the country”.

Point spread: This game was off the board early in the week at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

Rose thought the Lions played much better than they did on Wednesday against MI, a match they lost 3-1. Last week, the Wolverines gave up 34 points in regulation to an in offense that made it a point to run all over the visiting team. He is 66-29 is a college coach (29-6 at the U. of San Diego from 2004-06; 29-21 at Stanford from 2007-10) and 44-19-1 with the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14.

To prepare for the last few games of the regular season, Rose aims to work on blocking, an area he noticed looked shaky.

The Nittany Lions followed their season script perfectly on offense in this game.
