00:00A good underdog team on the road with white out energy in

00:08Happy Valley on Saturday night. The line I do cover as a

00:11seventeen and a half point dog in one of our four ranked

00:14versus ranked games on Saturday's slate but Penn State

00:18does roll winning what rather comfortably twenty-one to

00:22seven. We stay well under forty-seven and a half. DRS

00:25when looking at this game, it felt correct to see Penn State

00:28as a lofty favorite. I thought they would win comfortably. I

00:31thought they would win by double digits. I thought the

00:33spread was too large in favor of the Nittany Lions but where

00:37I really keyed on this game, some of the numbers that

00:40Illinois put up against Nebraska defending the Huskers

00:43on the ground were not really there the entirety of the year

00:46and we saw that Penn State forty-four carries as a team

00:50and a two-headed monster of Katron Allen and Nicholas

00:54Singleton too much for Illinois defensively. Allen a buck oh

00:58two on the ground. A touchdown Singleton. Ninety-four rushing

01:02yards and a touchdown. Penn State wins a big one in state

01:05college. Twenty-one to seven. Fantastic. Like that's big ten

01:09football right there and I love the way that Penn State. Yes,

01:11they can beat up on like little schools here. Drop fifty-five

01:14points but it's nice to see them get into a top twenty

01:16battle and say, you know what? Let's have a quarterback out

01:18there that is efficient. Doesn't make mistakes. Drew

01:20Allard. Fifteen to twenty-one. Buck thirty-five. No

01:23touchdowns. No interceptions. That's fine because you're

01:25right. You got a little case that thunder and lightning in

01:27the backfield. Eighteen carries for Allen. Sixteen for

01:30Singleton. One oh two at ninety-four. Each one of those

01:32guys scored a touchdown. When that weather starts to change

01:34in Happy Valley and you gotta take that attack on the road

01:37where you already know you have a good defense. It's great to

01:39know you can win football games like this and you can win

01:42football games in a high scoring affair. That's a nice

01:45win for the Penn State Nittany Lions and I appreciate the way

01:47they did. No field goals in that game. Love to see it man.

01:50Pound it. Pound it.
