Players To Watch:
Oregon: Running Back – Jordan James – Junior
The Nittany Lions have one of the best defenses in the Big Ten. If Oregon wants to find a way to win this game they will need the run game to get going which will open up the passing game for Dillon Gabriel and can put Penn State on their toes and impact the third rank pass defense in the Big Ten.
Penn State: Running Back – Nicholas Singleton – Junior
Singleton is an explosive player and a game-changer for Penn State. He started off red-hot combing to go for 233 yards in the first two games, since then he had 500 yards in nine games. He averaged 116.5 yards in the first two games and 55.5 in the next nine. He has found the back of the end zone in the last three games. He will need to be reached to go if Penn State wants to claim its first Big Ten title since 2016.
