To paraphrase Dan Fouts, it’s the last (home) game of the year, and Penn State really can’t hold anything back against Nebraska.
For Penn State to get to a bowl game, it must win its last two regular season contests, at home against the Huskers and on the road against Rutgers.
Penn State went into the last three games needing to win out, and last week’s 28-10 win at Michigan State was a good start.
Now, Penn State must continue to do the job against a team that’s record is better than its vibes.
Nebraska is 7-3 and Penn State is 4-6, but people believe Nebraska is worse than its record shows, while Penn State is better. That’s why Penn State is a 8.5-point favorite.
NEBRASKA’S QB
Penn State fans who were looking ahead to the Nebraska matchup weeks ago anticipated that Dylan Raiola would be Big Red’s starting QB.
But Raiola suffered a season-ending injury in early November, and now, TJ Lateef is Nebraska’s QB1.
Lateef more than held his own in his first start two weeks ago against UCLA. He had more touchdown passes (three) than incompletions (two), going 13-15 for 205 yards.
Lateef played well, but it’s worth noting that the Penn State defense is coming off its best performance of the year, holding Michigan State to 10 points, with seven coming on MSU’s first play of the game.
