College Football Betting: Minnesota Golden Gophers at Penn State Nittany Lions

After a big 35-20 win over Purdue on Saturday, the Minnesota Golden Gophers can head into back-to-back road games against the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes knowing that they’ve got the capability to make big plays.

They’ll need plenty of them to pull off an upset against the Nittany Lions or Buckeyes.

Minnesota’s linebackers continue to carry the load defensively. They helped limit Purdue’s Ralph Bolden, the Big Ten’s No. 2 rusher entering Saturday’s game, to just 58 yards and no touchdowns.

Daryll Clark, who leads the Big Ten in passing efficiency, is the key to the Penn State offense.

The Nittany Lions will need precise play from their quarterback in their final six games, beginning with Saturday’s home date with Minnesota.

The Golden Gophers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight meetings with the Nittany Lions.
