Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State has had a disappointing season, considering they were basically a few minutes away from upsetting Ohio State. After losing to the Buckeyes, they lost to Michigan State the next week and got blown out by Michigan to officially eliminate them.
Losing Barkley was obviously a big blow to this offense as he carried them majority of the time during his time in college. They still manage to average 35.7 points per game. This is about 26th in the country, which is not bad, but their offense has definitely let them down many times this season. They are led by quarterback, Trace McSorley, who has 1872 yards passing and also has 620 yards rushing. He has thrown for 13 touchdowns and has ran for 9 touchdowns. Look for him to have a very productive game against a poor defense.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights
