Nebraska vs Penn State Prediction – College Football Picks

Now we have the Nebraska vs Penn State Prediction for both teams.

In college football action that will take place on Saturday at Beaver Stadium, the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Penn State Nittany Lions will compete against one another. Take a look at this prediction for Penn State versus Nebraska. In order to evaluate which Penn State vs. Nebraska choice is the greatest, we will examine this situation from the point of view of betting.

This season has gotten off to a strong start for the Cornhuskers, as they have already won games against Cincinnati, Akron, and Houston Christian. Subsequently, Nebraska would suffer a defeat at the hands of Michigan, followed by victories over Michigan State and Maryland, and finally, a fall to Minnesota. After that, they defeated Northwestern, but they were defeated by USC. On November 1, the Cornhuskers were defeated by USC by a score of 21-17. With a 14-6 lead at the half, the Cornhuskers were unable to maintain their lead. There were only 98 throw yards and 4.6 yards per play for the Nebraska offense, which resulted in a meager 286 yards. Additionally, the offense had 20 first downs and was only 5 of 12 on third-down attempts.

During their most recent match, which took place on November 8 against UCLA, Nebraska was able to go back into the win column. By the time the first half was up, the Cornhuskers had a 21-7 lead, and they were able to maintain that lead en route to a 28-21 victory. Emmett Johnson led the rush with 28 carries for 129 yards and a score of his own, while quarterback TJ Lateef threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns while completing 13 of 15 passes out of a possible 15. Johnson was also the best receiver, with three receptions for 103 yards and two more scores. He placed first among receivers.

During the first three games of the season, the Lions were victorious over Nevada, Florida International University, and Villanova. After that, Penn State would see a string of defeats, including defeats at the hands of Oregon, UCLA, Northwestern, Iowa, Ohio State, and Indiana in the last half dozen games. Penn State conceded points in each and every quarter before falling to Indiana by a score of 27-24, but they managed to stay with a good squad for the majority of the game. There were a couple of mistakes made by the Lions offense, which resulted in 336 total yards, 17 first downs, and an 8-of-15 success rate on third-down conversion tries. The defense allowed the opposing team to gain 326 yards of ground.

The Nittany Lions were able to secure a much-needed victory on the road as they faced off against Michigan State over the past weekend. Penn State was leading by only four points going into the final quarter, but they went on to score two touchdowns without any response, resulting in a victory by a score of 28-10. Quarterback Ethan Grunkmeyer completed eight of thirteen passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Kaytron Allen led the rush with 25 carries for 181 yards and two touchdowns of his own, while Devonte Ross, the leading receiver, captured both scores for a total of 79 yards. Ross’s only grabs of the game were for touchdowns.

I’m going to lean toward Nebraska. However, in their most recent game, the Cornhuskers were able to pull off a victory at home against UCLA. They finished with 361 overall yards, 205 throw yards, 6.7 yards per play, 20 first downs, and five of eight on third-down attempts. A total of 348 yards, 191 yards in the air, 21 first downs, and 8 of 14 third downs allowed without a takeaway were all stats that the defense recorded. There have been two of Nebraska’s most recent three games in which they have scored 28 points, and they have won both of those games. Starting this matchup with a couple points on the scoreboard will go a long way toward determining the outcome.

Penn State, on the other hand, put out a commendable defensive effort in their game against Michigan State over the weekend. The Nittany Lions only allowed a total of 229 yards, 128 yards in the air, 4.7 yards per play, 12 first downs, and only one percent of their third-down attempts were successful. The offense of Penn State rushed for 240 yards and averaged 5.8 yards per play, but they were only successful in two out of ten tries to convert third-down opportunities. Despite this, the Lions were able to maintain possession of the ball for 37 minutes and 19 seconds of the game. Even when they are not winning, Penn State has been scoring a respectable amount of points this season. On the other hand, it would not be unexpected to see a respectable total in this one.
