Ohio State Football: Predictions for Big Ten bowl games
Penn State vs. Washington
TS Saquon Barkley did not have the season that everyone expected. Inconsistent play upfront derailed a season that could have been special.
That won’t matter in this game.
The Huskies defense has carried the team and they have the No. 1 rushing defense. That won’t stop Penn State from pounding them into the ground.
This game won’t be close as the Nittany Lions start fast to build a big lead and cruise to 45-21 win.
CL I disagree here, I think it will be a close game. Saquon Barkley has been limited when facing top-notch rushing defenses, and that is Washington’s strong suit.
Penn State will have to rely on Trace McSorely to score points and I think that will be a challenge.
I’ll give the Nittanly Lions the nod 23-17.
