Welcome back to our bowl projections! It is unsurprising to see three NY6 predictions after the Nittany Lions’ 16-10 victory over Wisconsin. If they head to Pasadena, it would either be a rematch of the 1994 Rose Bowl, or a matchup with the Bruins. Cincinnati is a very intriguing opponent in a bowl game that Penn State has never lost. It would be very satisfying to defeat Luke Fickell. Then there’s Mr. Schlabach, who seems to consistently underestimate the Nittany Lions. It’s only Week 1, so we’ll see what happens after future games.
