ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime Season 15 Episode 107 Penn State at Nebraska

  • November 10, 2012

Penn State and Nebraska face off in a highly anticipated Thursday night matchup in season 15 episode 107 of ESPN's College Football Thursday Primetime. Both teams are coming off of tough losses and are looking to bounce back with a win.

Penn State enters the game with a 7-2 record and is ranked #21 in the country. The Nittany Lions have a strong defense, led by linebacker Micah Parsons, who has 70 tackles on the season. Offensively, quarterback Sean Clifford has thrown for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns, but will need to improve on his recent performances if Penn State hopes to come out with a win.

On the other side, Nebraska comes into the game with a 4-5 record and is looking to salvage its season. The Cornhuskers have struggled on both sides of the ball, but quarterback Adrian Martinez has shown flashes of brilliance and will need to play well if Nebraska hopes to pull off the upset.

The game is being played at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, and both teams will be looking to take advantage of the home crowd. Penn State has historically struggled on the road, but will need to overcome that trend if they hope to stay in the mix for a New Year's Six bowl.

The matchup between Penn State's defense and Nebraska's offense will be a key factor in the game. The Nittany Lions have been excellent at stopping the run, but have struggled against the pass. Martinez has shown the ability to make plays both with his arm and his legs, and will look to exploit Penn State's weaknesses.

On the other side of the ball, Nebraska's defense will have its hands full with Clifford and the Penn State offense. The Cornhuskers have given up over 30 points per game this season, and will need to find a way to slow down the Nittany Lions. Penn State has a dynamic group of wide receivers led by KJ Hamler, who has over 600 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on the season.

The game has all the makings of a classic Big Ten slugfest, with both teams fighting hard for a vital win. Penn State comes into the game as the favorite, but Nebraska has shown an ability to play up to its competition this season. With both teams playing in primetime on national television, the stakes are high and the pressure is on.

Will Penn State continue its march towards a New Year's Six bowl, or will Nebraska pull off the upset and salvage its season? Tune in to ESPN's College Football Thursday Primetime to find out.
