The Penn State Nittany Lions look for another Big Ten win, and perhaps College Football Playoff style points, when they visit the Purdue Boilermakers.
Penn State is through the thick of its 2024 regular season schedule with its most difficult matchups settled. In some ways, that’s a negative for coach James Franklin and his program. With their best wins over Illinois, Wisconsin and USC, but also with a loss to Ohio State, the Nittany Lions don’t have much wiggle room to impress thehave a very clear path to 11 wins, and the remaining three regular-season games could provide opportunities to rest key pieces and get better looks at young talent.
However, the hotter that Carter and Penn State’s pass rush remain, the more challenges they will present in the playoff. Look for Purdue, which allowed four sacks to Ohio State last week, to struggle to protect Card.. It’s never easy to play a fully dominant game, but in some weeks, the Nittany Lions have had clear areas to address: the lack of receiver involvement, run-game effectiveness or the struggling goal-line offense against Ohio State.
For Penn State, this game is likely to be more about sparking momentum, playing a complete game and getting reps for a variety of players rather than needing to make key plays to win. The offensive game plan should look similar to the team’s Week 4 matchup against Kent State, when both Allar and Pribula had strong passing days, Allen and Singleton both averaged at least 6 yards per carry, and wide receivers Omari Evans and Liam Clifford caught touchdown passes.at Beaver Stadium.
