Penn State Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Nebraska in Week 12
By Brett Renner
1. Penn State will score a special teams touchdown
Penn State is going to excel in all areas in this matchup against Nebraska, even special teams. The Nittany Lions have succeeded in that aspect of football in this season and the same cannot be said for the Huskers.
For the past few seasons, the Huskers have went through their share of special teams coaches. On top of that, the Huskers offense is going to struggle which will lead to them punting the ball back to the Nittany Lions frequently throughout the game.
When you have someone as dangerous as Barkley receiving the kick-offs, a return touchdown is never out of question no matter who you are playing. In this particular matchup, the Huskers don’t have a stellar special teams defense and that will pave the way for the Nittany Lions return team and Saquon Barkley.

Penn State will score and score and score, and one of those touchdowns will come from either the opening kick-off or one of the many punt returns Penn State will receive.
