Buffalo vs Penn State Pick
Penn State has dominated its first 2 opponents, allowing only 9 total points while scoring 72. Buffalo has some ability through the air, but the Bulls struggled against Florida International and now face much tougher competition. The Nittany Lions should apply steady pressure to both Buffalo quarterbacks and prevent Morrow from creating big plays downfield. Becht has been highly efficient and should take advantage of a Buffalo defense that surrendered 33 points last week. Look for Penn State to score early, create multiple turnovers, and cruise to another comfortable home victory.
