Penn St. took to the road last week with a huge game vs Michigan, as both entered the contest unbeaten. The Nittany Lions ate some humble pie as they were beaten soundly by the Wolverines 41-17. Life in the Big 10 is never easy and now Penn St. will take on Minnesota at home. Penn St. has played a soft schedule so far and failed miserably against a very good Michigan team, and they have yet to prove how good they are. Minnesota saw its elite running game slow vs Purdue and Illinois. Penn St. came into Michigan last week with what was thought of as one of the best running attacks in the country as well as one of the best-run stop units. Penn St. promptly gave up 418 yards on the ground and generated just 112 of their own. Minnesota has gone for 240 or more yards rushing four times, and allowed 38 yards or fewer three times. I think Minnesota is the better-tested team and will ride the Gophers in this one.

Penn State at Minnesota
12:00 PM Eastern
This is a rare battle of unbeaten teams in November. Penn State is doing it with defense, second in the nation allowing 9.6 points per game, ninth in yards allowed, and second in rush defense. Penn State is on a 7-1 run UNDER the total in Big 10 play and faces a Minnesota defense that is #13 in yards allowed, #22 in points (20 points per game). The offense is about running the football, which chews up yards and the clock. Senior RB Rodney Smith has rushed for at least 100 yards in all five Big 10 games for the league's third-ranked ground game (204.5 yards per game). The Golden Gophers have covered five of six against winning teams, along with a 33-16-2 ATS run in November. Back the home dog in a defensive slugfest. Play Minnesota and the UNDER for a Max Play.
