Penn State, which has won its last four games, is a slight underdog to Oregon in Saturday night’s Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis. James Franklin’s 11-1 team is 5-0 away from Beaver Stadium. Can the Nittany Lions close the deal and win their second Big Ten title during the Franklin era?

Penn State’s Abdul Carter, the Big Ten defensive player of the year, has been a menace around the edge this season, racking up career-highs with 10 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. Oregon’s offense is well aware of the threat he presents on the defensive line.
