Tale of the Tape: Comparing Penn State and Michigan

How do Penn State and Michigan stack up against each other? Let’s go to the tale of the tape.

Penn State is back in action this weekend after getting last week off. Their first test out of the bye week is a tough one, arguably the toughest of the season. Penn State visits Michigan for a monster game in the Big Ten in Week 6, with both teams ranked in the top 10 and early Big Ten championship implications potentially at stake.

Penn State comes into the game as an underdog for the first time this season, but the comparisons with Michigan could lead to a closer game than some expect. But that being said, the Wolverines appear to have a number of position comparisons in their favor.

Let’s take a bit of a deeper look at the numbers.
