Head-to-Head: Ole Miss vs Penn State
Between them, the Rebels’ and Nittany Lions’ losses this season have come against Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan. Against opponents that didn’t qualify for the College Football Playoff or spend the season at the top of the rankings, both teams routinely took care of their business.
Penn State finished the regular season with the best yardage defense in college football, allowing only 223.2 yards per game and 3.9 yards per play. They found themselves at the top of the sack list as well, finishing with 49 on the season, and their 11.4 points per game ranks third behind the two teams they lost to – Michigan (9.5) and Ohio State (11.0). Their offense totaled a more-than-respectable 37.2 points per game, including 11.8 points per fourth quarter – the second-highest mark.
Ole Miss hasn’t graded out nearly as well, and their two losses were far more lopsided affairs. Nevertheless, their offense ranks 16th in yards per game (455.6), 20th in points per game (34.8), and 12th in QB rating (161.6). Their defense is inescapably average, however; the Rebels’ record is supported by one-score wins against LSU (55-49), Arkansas (27-20), Auburn (28-21), and Texas A&M (38-35). The Rebels could easily get stuck in a bind if their offense struggles to win on their own against the Nittany Lions’ immovable object of a defense.

Ole Miss vs Penn State Predictions
Bowl season lends itself to more than a little random chance and unanticipated chicanery, but it’s hard to envision Penn State suddenly struggling to contain Ole Miss after – even in losing efforts – they held Ohio State and Michigan to 12 and 24 points, respectively. If that Nittany Lions defense comes to play, it would take a phenomenal team effort from the Rebels to keep the game close and not let their opponent clamp them down and slowly pull away. Maybe that effort is in their wheelhouse, but the point totals the Rebels have allowed
to their best opponents don’t inspire confidence.
Prediction: Penn State -3.5
