Michigan vs. Penn State: Preview & Notes

Neither of these teams has consistently good run games. Michigan ranks 97th in EPA/rush. Penn State is even worse at 103rd.

Conversely, both teams field strong back ends, with both defenses ranking in the top 20 for EPA/pass allowed. 

Those dynamics go a long way toward explaining why this total is in the low 40s – a pretty slight total for a modern college football game.
