Penn State, looking to improve on its 5-1 record on the year, went on the road to face a similar team in Clemson in the Big Ten/ACC challenge. The Nittany Lions were slight underdogs coming in, which really was mostly a measure of Vegas not really knowing what to expect in the game, thus giving the benefit to the home team. Both of these teams will likely find themselves flirting with the bubble as the season plays out, so winning this game could very well make the difference between who makes the tournament between the two.
Clemson opened up the scoring, but the Nittany Lions basically took off from there, scoring the next 10 points to take an early 10-point lead.
