The Lions have started 4-0 for the season, alongside the best teams in the division. Their first game against the Purdue Boilermakers was a close one, where they won (31-35). The rest of the other games were a one-sided victory for the Lions. They won Game 2 (46-10) against Ohio, Game 3 (41-12) against Auburn, and Game 4 (33-14) against Central MI.
Northwestern (1-3), on the other hand, has struggled so far. They have lost a lot of close games, starting with a 23-31 defeat against the Duke Blue Devils. They lost 24-31 against Southern Illinois Salukis, eventually losing to the Miami Redhawks 14-17. Their only win came in Game 1 (31-28) against a very formidable Nebraska.
It would be interesting to see if the Wildcats would be able to stop the Lions' offense. The offense looks unstoppable at the moment and it seems they can penetrate any defense. The Nittany Lions are the team to beat right now in the NCAAF.

Northwestern Wildcats vs. Penn State Nittany Lions: Pick
In the battle of offense versus defense, the leader of the attack, the quarterback is the most important player. So far, Sean Clifford has simply been outstanding for the Nittany Lions. He is closing in on 1000 passing yards with multiple TDs to his name. It will be really difficult for a struggling Northwestern team to contain this type of attack.
His contribution could make a significant impact in the game in a very short amount of time.
Pick: Sean Clifford Total Passing Yards Over 234.5 (-115)
