In the week-9 upset alert for college football there is a key insight: Penn State this season has outscored its opponents 90 to zero in the first quarter. Much of that scoring has been aided by Saquon receiving as well as rushing.

"Here we have the rare higher-ranked road dog -- and by a touchdown, no less... there's a reason... Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has a crazy good record with extra time to prepare. As noted by Eleven Warriors, Meyer is 21-1 record coming off an in-season bye.

"Penn State wins if: It continues to find different ways for running back Saquon Barkley to get the ball early. Penn State is outscoring opponents 90-0 in the first quarter. Yes, you read that correctly. Ninety to zero. It's not always easy to get off to good starts consistently, but Penn State does it better than any team in the country.

"Part of that is because of how the Nittany Lions get Barkley the ball. The junior has 15 first-quarter receptions; not only is that more than any other quarter, it represents about 47 percent of his 32 catches on the year. Feeding Barkley in a variety of ways not only makes the most complete running back in college football hard to defend, it could force Ohio State to play from behind."
