Oregon State at No. 19 Penn State (minus 15.5)

This will be the first time Oregon State (0-1) and Penn State (1-0) have played one another on the football field.

This game will feature two offenses that move the ball by opposite means. Look for Oregon State to allow quarterback Lyle Moevao to attempt over forty passes. Last week Moevao completed 34 of 54 passes for 404 yards in the 28-36 loss to Stanford. Senior wide receivers Shane Morales and Sammie Stroughter combined for 26 of the 34 completions and 306 of the 404 yards.

On the other sideline Penn State should hitch its offense on the backs of Evan Royster, Stephon Green and Brent Carter. Although quarterback Daryll Clark was sharp against Coastal Carolina, Paterno and company would be more than happy if the Nittany Lions can duplicate last week’s 334 rushing yards.

Penn State 38, Oregon State 24
