Finally, we’ll get into the matchup between the two teams. While we’re still going through weekly preparations to learn as much as we can about the two teams, we’ll discuss what we know so far and give a preview of what we think the most significant matchups and problems will be for each team.

We’ll fold this week’s Sunday Film Study review into the matchup by projecting what the Penn State offense will look like with Allar or backup Beau Pribula under center. We’ll also discuss what the likely plan will be for the coming weekend.
