Maryland at Penn State

The Terps gave everything they had last week against the Buckeyes and came up one point short.

Even though a sixth win and bowl eligibility are on the line, the emotional toll carry into this game.

Trace McSorley finishes his home career with a stellar game.  Nittany Lions win big 35-9.

Purdue at Indiana

The winner receives the Old Oaken Bucket.

For the second-straight season, the winner becomes bowl eligible and the loser goes home.

Tough game to predict since both teams are evenly matched and neither is playing particularly well right now.

I want to lean toward the Boilermakers, but I think Indiana gets revenge and wins 34-30.
