Both teams have potent offenses and strong defenses, setting the stage for an exciting matchup in the desert.
The game is set for Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. PT at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and will be broadcast on ESPN. Penn State is favored by 11 points, but Boise State is eager to pull off the upset and continue their historic season.
