Penn State at Washington: Game Preview
Can the Nittany Lions make it two in a row?
Penn State and Washington are set to face off in a crucial Big Ten matchup on November 9, 2024, with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff at Husky Stadium in Seattle, WA. The Nittany Lions are currently 4-4, with one loss to Purdue, while the Huskies sit at 5-3, including a recent victory over Nebraska. The betting line currently has Penn State favored by 2.5 points.
Key factors to watch in this game include Washington's quarterback situation. Demond Williams appears set to become the starting QB after returning from injury, though his performance has been inconsistent. Freshman Brian Bonner will share the workload with Williams, while veteran receivers Dezem Roebuck and Chris Lawson will play significant roles.
Penn State's defense has improved under coach Matt Campbell, holding Purdue to just 33 rushing yards and 175 total yards in their most recent win. The Nittany Lions' front seven provided strong pressure throughout the season, which should be a strong point against Washington's offensive line.
Penn State will be looking to build on their momentum from the recent victory over Purdue, aiming for their second Big Ten win of the season. The Huskies, on the other hand, will need to address their inconsistent play from their quarterbacks and their recent struggles against strong defenses.
