Penn State vs Central Michigan Game Preview
Why Central Michigan Will Win
Will Penn State be able to keep its full focus after the blowout win over Auburn?
It’s not like there’s anything big ahead – Northwestern is up next – but it’s been an interesting first three weeks with a gut-check rally to beat Purdue and the high-profile win on the road against the SEC. As we’ve seen with Central Michigan, it can take advantage of any opportunity.

Central Michigan will score points in the second half, but Penn State will have this in hand.
