The Oregon Ducks are poised to claim the No. 1 overall seed in the College Football Playoff by defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions in Saturday’s Big Ten championship game.
Oregon is expected to break away in the second half, thanks to the strength of their team and relative rest after a bye week. Despite injuries on both teams, Oregon’s offense has proven its ability to overcome adversity, as seen in their recent win against Washington.
The Ducks’ trench play will be crucial in determining the outcome of this game. If they can dominate at the line of scrimmage, it could be an insurmountable task for Penn State. The Nittany Lions have played a challenging schedule but are still seeking to prove themselves as a top-tier program.
Most pundits agree that Oregon is the more battle-tested team and will emerge victorious. Several experts predict different scores, but most believe it will be a lower-scoring contest than usual due to both teams’ excellent defenses.
