Penn State rebounded from its loss to Ohio State with a convincing win over Washington on Saturday night in front of a White Out crowd at Beaver Stadium. Each week, PennLive’s Penn State football team — reporters Bob Flounders, Max Ralph and myself, as well as photojournalist Joe Hermitt — makes pregame predictions.

However, Penn State is averaging fewer points (30.8 vs. 34.0) than the previous campaign while being less effective inside the red zone (66.7% touchdown rate vs. 76.6%). Nonetheless, Franklin and the Nittany Lions appear ready to turn the page.

Purdue hosts Penn State on Saturday. It is time to continue our college football odds series with a Penn State-Purdue prediction and pick.
