Notable: The Nittany Lions have the top defense in the Big Ten at the moment, giving up only 64.8 ppg. … Penn State beat Northwestern on the road earlier this season. … The Nittany Lions are coming off a loss at Maryland, while Northwestern is coming off a 12-point win over Nebraska, which ended a three-game losing streak for the Wildcats. … Northwestern is led offensively by Pete Nance, Boo Buie and Chase Audije. … The one constant for Penn State recently has been John Harrar, who has three straight double-doubles for the Nittany Lions. Sam Sessoms and Jalen Pickett have contributed offensively, but Penn State really needs Seth Lundy to start finishing in double figures more consistently.
