These teams are evenly matched. Both teams rely on their defense and run game offensively. PSU is probably healthier and they have the rest advantage. ND has a mobile QB with Leonard. He should be able to extend drives. ND is the more disciplined team and they are better coached. ND is 12-2 ATS. PSU had the easier path to this point but their 2 losses were to the Ohio St team that dismantled the #1 team and the country and the other loss was to the #1 team Oregon. If they were on the other side of the bracket they would be watching. Look for ND to do enough to win this game and advance to the National Championship.
