Result: Loss
This is an 8* REVENGE ASSASSIN on Penn State.
Suffice it to say we're expecting a beatdown from start to finish in this one. Pittsburgh won 28-21 over Youngstown State in OT, while Penn State crushed Akron 52-0 in Week 1. Note that the Nittany Lions play with revenge after falling to the Panthers 42-39 last year.
Pittsburgh: The Panthers had a 21-0 lead last weekend and fell apart at home to lowly Youngstown State, needing an extra frame to get the job done. QB Max Browne had 140 yards and one TD. RB Qadree Oilison was injured and he's questionable for this game (if he does play, clearly he wont be at 100%.) Pittsburgh's defense struggled as well, conceding 418 total yards, including 21 straight points in the second half and allowing Youngstown State to connect on 2 for 2 on fourth downs.
Penn State: The Nittany Lions barely broke a sweat in their 52-0 annihilation of the Zips. QB Trace McSorely was 18 of 25 for 280 yards with two TD's and one INT. Last year McSorely had over 3,600 yards and a 29:8 TD:INT ratio. RB Saquon Barkley had 172 yards. The defense was downright dominant as well, holding Akron to just 159 total yards.
The bottom line: Note that Pittsburgh is just 1-5 ATS in its last six against the Big Ten and only 2-12 ATS in its last 14 non-conference games, while Penn State is 2-1 ATS in its last three in trying to revenge a loss to an opponent in which it gave up 42 points or more too. Pittsburgh has QB confidence issues and RB Oilison is injured. The Pitt defense struggled mightily in the second half of its win over Akron as well and it now faces one of the most prolific offenses and opportunistic defenses that it'll see all season. All signs point to a rout, play on PENN STATE.
