Analyst Mike Golic Jr. covers Penn State's big-play needs, the impact of sign-stealing and his pick for Saturday.
Penn State exorcises its demons in Columbus and beats Ohio State. Since that didn't happen, we now turn to Saturday's Penn State-Michigan game at Beaver Stadium.
The Lions take another crack at a top-5 team to get back into the College Football Playoff race. So what's the difference for Penn State this weekend? "Be willing to do what you weren't able to do as much against Ohio State," Golic said."And I know James Franklin recoiled at this question when it came from one of the reporters, but you've got to be willing to push the ball downfield and risk it a little bit. ... Sort of the same way Michigan had to cut it loose down the field to beat Ohio State, Penn State's got to be willing to push it a little bit.
This is a game where first and second down are going to be the premium downs, because if Michigan gets to sit and stay with the chains and do what they want to do under center and JJ McCarthy doesn't even have to risk the biscuit, then they're gonna be in great shape.
