Penn State vs. Oregon Prediction:
Take Oregon to cover the 3 point spread in this matchup. James Franklin struggles against top competition with a 1-12 record against top 5 opponents and 3-17 record against top 10 opponents. We saw the Nittany Lions lose earlier this season to the 4th ranked Buckeyes. I am not going to fade the trend when he plays the top ranked Ducks on Saturday night. Dan Lanning holds a 34-5 record over three years as head coach of the Ducks with each season being better than the last. He led Oregon to a victory over Ohio State earlier this season. An offense that averages 36 points per game should continue to find success in the enclosed Lucas Oil Stadium. This should be a close game but I trust Dan Lanning and the Ducks to get it done in this one.
