On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian insider Joel Haas preview the Nittany Lions' Big Ten championship matchup with top-ranked Oregon. Will their College Football Playoff path be easiest with a win? Or a loss that could result in a No. 5 seed with a favorable path to the semifinals, a quirk in the new 12-team system? Could Penn State fall behind Notre Dame in the rankings with a loss? And what does this game mean for coach James Franklin's legacy amid his recent struggles against highly ranked teams?
Our duo tackles those topics, then digs into the matchup. Will star tight end Tyler Warren be able to get open against this Ducks secondary? Can receivers including Trey Wallace, Omari Evans and Liam Clifford draw enough coverage of Warren for QB Drew Allar to get him the ball? How will running backs Nick Singleton and Kayton Allen perform against a tough Oregon front seven? And on the other side the ball, can Abdul Carter and the defense do enough to contain Ducks playmakers Dillion Gabrial, Jordan James and Tez Johnson?
