How can Penn State Football beat Boise State to advance in the playoff? Here are 2 key matches – AOL

Penn State will play its quarterfinal play at the Football College at 7:30 pm Tuesday when he takes Boise State Broncos at Fiesta Bowl at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. How can Ayani Lions defeat Broncos and move to the semifinals against the winner of Georgia/Notre Dame?

Here are the two key matches of the game on Tuesday, which we believe will determine the result:

John Sabeber: Penn State Secondary State vs. Pass Latchers of State

Nittany’s lions will have to spend resources to stop Boise State, which goes back Ashton Gianti, which will inevitably put a lot of pressure on Nittany’s secondary lion to do his job. Broncos want to reach Jeanty’s ball when they can, but there will be many cases when they try to throw the ball to hold Penn State on the heels. When this time comes, it will be at the best angles of the team, Aj Harris and Jalen Kimber, as well as his sure, Jaylen Reed and Zakee Wheatley to take care of the business.

Harris and Kimber presented themselves, as well as anyone who could wisely expect after joining the program from Georgia and Florida, respectively as transfers this season. The first has become one of the best angles in the country, and the second is a permanent starter for Penn State throughout the season. In the middle, Reed has played as one of the best safe in the country, while Wheatley is positive as a starter throughout the year. All four players were good at reflecting this season and turned out to be a medium level at high levels when teams attacked them-apart when Oregon uses their elite speed to create big plays.

Fortunately for Nittany Lions, Tez Johnson is still a duck, not Bronco, but that doesn’t mean that Boise State does not have the misses to be damaged. The best Broncos receiver, Cameron Camp, joined the Indiana program during the extra -season, and this season was a constant threat to opposite defenses. He has caught at least four passes in nine of the Boise State games, while being at least 70 yards in six of them. The 55 Campers catch for 837 yards leads Boise State and is part of his answer when teams are sold to stop the running game. It is joined by a constant narrow end in Matt Lauter, which was a reliable goal for the defender Maddu Madson with 43 catch for 523 yards and six touchdowns. While no player is a superstar, they are both valuable pieces for Broncos because of how they complement a dominant game.

Whoever wins the match around the perimeter can be the team that wins the game. And at least if Penn State wins this match, he will be in an excellent position to go out with a win.

Josh Moyer: Front-Seem vs. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty on Penn State Rb Ashton

Let’s not get too sweet with our photos here. Jeanty is Heisman’s runner-up and perhaps the most electric offensive player throughout the College Football. He had a clock at 21.7 miles / h in the 6th week and according to his school he caused 143 forced missed equipment for 1889 yards after contact Only this season.

It is the road block that stands on the path of Pen State and the semifinals of the playoffs of the College of Football.

But let’s look a little beyond Jeanty’s ability – and a little more about what powerful quick attacks have made to Penn State. Nittany Lions have allowed more than 100 fast yards in just five out of 14 games this season, but each of these five games has been resolved with one result. Of course, the loser teams tend to pass, so we cannot take these numbers at a nominal value. But the opponents who were able to establish the game for the performance gave attacks to the DC Tom Allen. The Lions of Nitani shine most clearly when they offend the one-dimensional.

Only three teams rushed for more than 150 yards against Penn State – USC, Ohio State and Oregon. And that led to two losses and an overtime victory. In the meantime, Broncos boasted the No. 5 attack in the nation and moves for at least 170 yards in each competition. Something has to be given here.

Penn State’s linear players have been out of their position, especially against better teams. And Jeanty has the flexibility to bounce it out for a big profit or to hold it between the first down struggles, which means that Jeanty has the ability to take advantage of any mistake in Nittany Lion. I will be surprised if Jeanty does not interrupt at least two or three long tracks, but I will be more surprised if Penn State stops Jeanty – and still manages to lose. It is the key.
