Following Penn State football's win over Michigan State in Week 12, the Nittany Lions (4-6, 1-6 Big Ten) are favored once again. They will take the field at Beaver Stadium for the final time in 2025, honoring their seniors while hosting Nebraska.
Two Penn State alum will go head-to-head at the helm. Interim head coach Terry Smith just registered his first win since taking over former head coach James Franklin's role. Cornhuskers (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) head coach Matt Rhule signed a contract extension in the midst of rumors of him being the top candidate for the open job in Happy Valley.
