Penn State Football wins if this happens, Michigan wins if that does

Penn State Wins If …

Is it cheating to say the same one as last week?

Because, another 100 yards rushing from the running back position would be incredibly helpful, yet again.

But that’d be cheating to you, the reader, so we will give another way to ensure a Nittany Lion victory.

Michigan wants to run the ball, plain and simple. The Wolverines’ starting QB, Cade McNamara, has only thrown 208 times this year.  Compare that to Clifford, who’s thrown 311 times … and that’s with missing some time with an injury.

Michigan wins games by running the ball with Hassan Haskins, Blake Corum, and Donovan Edwards.

However, Wolverine RB Coach (former Michigan RB himself) Mike Hart, has been rather secretive with the status of both Corum and Edwards.

Hart was quoted on Wednesday stating “I hope to see them play Saturday.”

Even if both are out, Hassan Haskins (165 carries, 829 yards and 11 touchdowns) is plenty capable of carrying the entire load and true freshman Tavierre Dunlap can spell him as needed.  Penn State can’t let the RB position beat them on Saturday.

Penn State Football wins if McNamara throws 33 or more times.
