Bold prediction: The Penn State defense produces the biggest play. Saquon Barkley is going to get his stats, but the defense finally gets the recognition it deserves. With an off weekend for the Crimson Tide some pundits might even start wondering if the Nittany Lions deserved the top spot atop the Playoff rankings.
