00:00If you believe in Penn State as I do that it's college football playoff or

00:07bust this year you absolutely had to love what we saw last week against the

00:13Mountaineers of West Virginia 34 and a half point spread now in favor of the

00:17Nittany Lions Joe after a 34-12 route over the Mountaineers last week in

00:23Morgantown. You said during the top ten as you looked at Penn State number seven

00:27in my rankings you still do not believe in Drew Aller last week looked pretty

00:32good though in his first game with Andy Kotelnicki as the OC. He did it and he

00:36had a great game last year against West Virginia over 300 yards last year this

00:41game 215 the offense of line took over they were able to run it with Singleton

00:46and Allen and defense force turnovers against Garrett Green when you look at

00:50that just a Mac perspective with Penn State they are dominated since 2014 8-0

00:55all-time yeah and have won those games by an average margin of victory Kev of

00:5929.7 points per game but this Bowling Green team could score former

01:04Missouri quarterback Connor Baselak is the gunslinger again I don't think

01:08they're gonna win this matchup but the over perception I mean West Virginia was

01:13a huge dog play by a lot of people so they they bet West Virginia all of a

01:18sudden they were they get smashed by Penn State and now they're gonna lay it

01:21with Penn State against a Bowling Green team I'm gonna take the 34 and a half

01:25this line got up as high as 35 and a half 36 midweek they bought it back down

01:30give me the 34 and a half with Bowling Green I'm on Katron Allen mmm clear and

01:35obvious bounce back spot simple as that last season only two games with less

01:39than 50 rushing yards in the follow-up game he had 68 on the ground and then 81

01:43on the ground at no point last year did he have consecutive games with less than

01:4762 rushing yards his prop is 61 and a half his number today is 16 yards lower

01:52than Nick Singleton I know Singleton's a special back last year season long total

01:57carries one more for Katron Allen this is a split backfield here Allen gets his

02:02against Bowling Green Singleton was the big name a couple of big runs in that

02:06second half against WVU 13 carries 114 yards and a touchdown but Katron Allen

02:12although the yards were not there still double-digit carries a week ago Penn

02:16State when expected to beat a team it's what they do the Nittany Lions covered

02:20as a seven and a half point favorite last week 18 4 and 1 against the number

02:25as a favorite the last two years just in the last two years they've lost to teams

02:30like Michigan and Ohio State in each of the last two and Ole Miss in the bowl

02:35game but
