GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Penn State’s offensive line vs. Michigan’s front seven. The Wolverines are seventh in the country in time of possession. They’re hanging onto the ball more often with help from a defense that is getting off the field. The Nittany Lions need to protect their defense that’s surrendered a vast majority of its yardage and points late in games by keeping drives going, they can do that with blocking up front and a steady dose of McSorley and Sanders to keep the chains moving.
