Both teams have inexperienced quarterbacks under center as Michigan State's Alessio Milivojevic has just one FBS start under his belt, while Penn State's Ethan Grunkemeyer has only three starts. That inexperience has been on full display for both, and it's stunted their respective offenses.
Milivojevic was sacked seven times in his debut, while Grunkemeyer has four interceptions, three total fumbles and just one passing touchdown across his three starts. With the model projecting there to be more turnovers than passing touchdowns, both teams are forecasted to score under their season averages.
