It is hard to believe it is Senior Day already. It seems like it was just fall camp for the Lions. Also hard to believe this could very well be Saquon Barkley’s last game at Beaver Stadium.

Nebraska has been a mess all season and it seems head coach Mike Riley’s time in Lincoln is nearly up.

The Husker offense has been pass heavy with no consistency in their run game. They rank 115th in the country in rush yards.  On defense, the Huskers rank dead last in the Big Ten in rush yards allowed, giving up 200 a game. If there was ever a game for Barkley and the Nittany Lions rushing game to get back on track, this is it.

Nebraska needs to win their final two games in order to be bowl eligible, but it is not going to happen against these Nittany Lions. There is not much to be scared about when it comes to Nebraska this season. I suspect Penn State will be fired up for the seniors on this team and for Barkley. He will go over 100 yards for the first time since the Michigan game and collects another two touchdowns. Barkley also gets involved again in the pass game, collecting another score through the air. Penn State wins running away and inches closer to a New Years Six bowl.
