Penn State’s Abdul Carter, the Big Ten defensive player of the year, has been a menace around the edge this season, racking up career-highs with 10 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. Oregon’s offense is well aware of the threat he presents on the defensive line.

In order for the Ducks to come out victorious and win the Big Ten title in their first season in the conference, they’ll have to pay attention to these five Nittany Lions and not let them have games that could affect the ultimate outcome. Easier said than done as Penn State comes into this contest with just one loss, coming to Ohio State at home.

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar said Oregon's defense will be a challenge ahead of Saturday's Big Ten title game.
