Three wins is all that separates Penn State from clinching their first-ever College Football Playoff berth. They can whittle things down to just two wins after tomorrow’s game at Purdue, so long as they find themselves on the right side of the following X-Factors below:
Let It Rip, Drew
Purdue is dead last in the Big Ten in passing yards allowed per attempt (9.2), which should provide Drew Allar with plenty of opportunity to hit Tyler Warren, Tre Wallace, and other favorite targets for explosive gains. Don’t be surprised if Allar surpasses the 300-yard mark tomorrow.
Defense Feasts
Purdue has given up a total of 24 sacks on the season, so this game should provide another opportunity for Abdul Carter and others on the defensive line to wreak havoc.
