Otto Greule Jr

The Nebraska Cornhuskers look to continue their run for the Big Ten Legends Division title Saturday afternoon when they play host to the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Huskers head into the weekend tied with the Michigan Wolverines for the division lead and are winners of three straight after getting blown out by Ohio State last month.

After losing their first two games of the season, the Nittany Lions have turned their season around, winning six of their last seven. They’ve also won games with their passing game, which is a switch from the Joe Paterno era’s run-heavy offense. The Nittany Lions are currently 37th in the country, averaging 272 yards passing per game.
