Oregon vs. Penn State: 3 matchups that will define B1G Championship (and a prediction)

---

Oregon is a 3-point favorite against Penn State. We break down the key matchups and predict the winner.

 

We have slight to notable advantages everywhere, except our OL vs their D Line.

 

This game is first to 20 points wins, so if our OL can give Gabriel enough time and consistently get some holes for the running game we win.

 

Part of me thinks we start the first drive with only quick passes, with a few DG scrambles thrown in if nothing is immediately open.

 

Neutralize their DL, and force them to stop crowding the box and play zone. 

 

Don't get in a physicality pissing match getting stuffed on early downs while they crowd the box, then force longer throws on 3rd down that give the DL time get home.

 

Let's win one of the many ways we can win. Don't play their game.
