Riley Leonard will need to be better through the air as he rushed (80 yards) for nearly as many yards as he threw for (90 yards).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Penn State shut down Heisman Trophy finalist Ashton Jeanty, holding the talented running back to 104 yards on 30 carries in a 31-14 win over Boise State. The Nittany Lions hope Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Abdul Carter will be ready for the Orange Bowl after suffering an injury in the win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ohio State proved that this is its national title to lose. The Buckeyes beat down Oregon, 41-21, in a game that wasn&#8217;t even as close as the final score suggested. Jeremiah Smith was unstoppable, totalling 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Texas survived a scare from Arizona State University, winning 39-31 in overtime. The Longhorns coughed up a 17-3 halftime lead and benefitted from a controversial targeting non-call. Stopping Ohio State&#8217;s elite passing attack will be a much stiffer challenge for Steve Sarkisian and Co.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College Football Playoff TD scorer odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Notre Dame vs. Penn State<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Click linked odds to add selection to your betslip.
