00:00Let's get to a big ball game in Indianapolis on Saturday

00:08evening. It is the number one team in the nation. Oregon

00:12taking on Penn State who will be a top five team after the

00:15college football playoff rankings tonight where the

00:18Nittany Lions now remain at number four in the CFP top 25

00:24three in the AP poll three and a half point spread Joe in

00:27favor of the Ducks a total also sub 50 by the hook at 49 and

00:32a half. This was not the Big 10 championship game that we

00:35expected entering the regular season finale on Saturday, Ohio

00:40State as a three touchdown favorite against Michigan simply

00:43needed to win the football game out right at home. Of course

00:45the Maize and Blue pulled off that monumental upset. So Penn

00:49State takes care of Maryland winning 44 to 7 the Nittany

00:52Lions will now play in the Big 10 title game in here is Penn

00:58State once again booked as an underdog not expected to win

01:02a football game outright against the top team in the country.

01:07It's only a three and a half point spread Joe. How competitive

01:10does Saturday night look for a Big 10 title on the line?

01:13Listen, everybody knows James Franklin at Penn State. He's

01:18one in 13 against top five teams. His only win actually came

01:22back in 2016 against Ohio State. The Nittany Lions are 0 and

01:275 straight up and 1 and 4 against the number as an underdog

01:30since 2022 here Ben Franklin. However, he's 1 and 0 in conference

01:36title games. Dan Lanning lost last year to Washington in the

01:41conference title game and I think Styles make fights here,

01:45right? If you're going to beat Oregon, you don't want to track

01:48me. You want to run the ball. You want to control the tempo.

01:52You want that Ducks offense off the field for as much as possible

01:58here. Both these defenses top 10 scoring defenses. They combine

02:03to only surrender 30.2 points per game here Ben. If Penn State

02:08is going to win this game and cover this then this game is

02:12going woefully under 49 and a half points. This could very

02:16well be a rock fight if Penn State wins this.
