Penn State will attempt to keep its bowl game dreams alive when it faces Nebraska on Saturday night.
It has been a nightmare season for the Nittany Lions, but they managed to secure their first Big Ten victory against Michigan State last weekend. Penn State must defeat Nebraska and Rutgers in order to reach bowl eligibility.
The Cornhuskers, meanwhile, are coming off a bye week after a 28-21 win over UCLA on Nov. 8. TJ Lateef, who became Nebraska's new starting quarterback after Dylan Raiola suffered a season-ending injury earlier this month, threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns against the Bruins.
Can interim head coach Terry Smith lead Penn State to another conference win? Or will Lateef build on an impressive performance and push the Cornhuskers past the Nittany Lions?
