Penn State will look to snap a three-game losing streak, which includes a 31-24 setback in overtime to the Ohio State Buckeyes as 14-point home underdogs last week, while losing the statistical battle in all three of those affairs. The Nittany Lions will need a major offensive performance from quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who has thrown for 200-plus yards in 14 of 19 career games since arriving on campus.
