Kaytron Allen (RB)

With the anticipated windy conditions, both offenses will likely have to lean heavily on the running game.

For the Nittany Lions, they’ll need a big game from who has been their most productive down-to-down back: Kaytron Allen.

Continuing to run with good patience, vision, and physicality should be more than enough for Allen to have a big game against an inferior Hoosier defense. If Kaytron Allen has a big game this week, Penn State can control the ball, the clock, and most importantly–the scoreboard.
