ESPN’s FPI projects outcome of Indiana-Penn State showdown
Published:
Penn State will host Indiana this week in a rematch of one of the best games of the 2020 college football season.
The Hoosiers were victorious in this game a year ago, beating the Nittany Lions in overtime on a controversial dive into the end zone by Michael Penix Jr.
This season, Penn State is expected to get revenge against the Hoosiers. ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) is giving Penn State an 82.4 percent chance of redemption this weekend.
Penn State is off to a great start this season. The Nittany Lions are 4-0 and will enter October firmly in the conversation for the College Football Playoff.
James Franklin’s squad has already scored ranked wins over Wisconsin and Auburn to start the year. Quarterback Sean Clifford is arguably playing the best football of his career under first year offensive coordinator Sean Clifford.
Meanwhile, Indiana has struggled a bit to start off 2020. The Hoosiers got blown out by Iowa in Week 1 and also dropped a game vs. Cincinnati back in Week 3. They enter this matchup with a 2-2 record.
Kick off is at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
