Mighty Michigan can nearly cover this total by itself averaging 53 points per game. The Wolverines host Penn State, which is giving up nearly 35 points per game during its past two games and is extremely thin at linebacker.

Already missing two linebackers, the Nittany Lions lost perhaps their best defensive player, senior linebacker Nyeem Wartman-White, to a season-ending knee injury last week. Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight has established himself with three consecutive strong games. The Wolverines will be looking to go over the total for an eighth straight time at home.

Penn State should be able to put up its share of points against a Michigan defense that yielded four touchdowns to Colorado at home last week. The Nittany Lions have a pair of potential sophomore stars on offense in quarterback Trace McSorley, who is proving to be an adequate replacement for Christian Hackenberg, and running back Saquon Barkley.
