The betting landscape presents a significant spread, with Penn State favored heavily. The Falcons face long odds, but with a history of beating the spread in recent games, they might just make a case for a closer game than the odds suggest. The total points set at 49.5 reflect an expectation of moderate scoring, aligning with both teams’ recent performances.

Connor Bazelak QB vs. Drew Allar QB

Connor Bazelak of Bowling Green played well in his first match, completing 68.2% of his passes, thereby shaking off the rust, though he hasn’t yet hit the top. The rookie did not score any touchdowns or interceptions but helped them preserve the game management and minimize turnovers. Moreover, Bazelak’s ability to deliver accurate passes and to work the ball around will be particularly tested by a solid defensive unit from Pennsylvania State University.

In that regard, Drew Allar from Penn State did not disappoint as to why he is among the elite quarterbacks in the conference, coming out passing for 216 yards with 3 touchdowns and a passer rating of 229.7 in his debut. His success in targeting receivers at long range and his quickness to escape from oncoming rushers emphasizes how he fits into the overall picture of the Penn State offense. He is expected to be an important piece in today’s game due to his big frame and dynamic athleticism.

Bowling Green Ground and Air Attack

Running the ball is the major part of the Falcons’ offensive outlook, a fact that was evidenced by Terion Stewart who managed to record an impressive 161 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Speed and power running style allow him to add a spark to the offense of the Falcons. There is also tight end Harold Fannin Jr. who is quite useful in that he has good hands and options for routes over the middle. The complementary approach will be necessary against an imposing defense like that of Penn State.
