The Indiana Hoosiers (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) and No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0) meet up for a 7:30 p.m. ET kick this Saturday in Happy Valley. Below, we look at the Indiana at Penn State odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
Indiana has failed to live up to its preseason No. 17 ranking. The Hoosiers were blown out by Iowa 34-6 in Week 1, and they’ve yet to cover a spread against an FBS opponent. Indiana’s biggest problem has been on offense; it’s averaging just 4.8 yards per play (111th nationally), and QB Michael Penix Jr. has three times as many INTs (6) as TDs (2) in three games against FBS teams.
Penn State didn’t quite blow out FCS Villanova last week (38-17), but a letdown performance was to be expected following the Nittany Lions’ “White Out” victory over Auburn the week before. Penn State’s defense has been stout, allowing just 15.0 points per game, while QB Sean Clifford is 11th in the country with 9.7 passing yards per attempt to go along with 8 TDs and 2 INTs.
