Penn State has enlisted Tyler Holzworth, a junior, to mimic Jeanty on the scout team. It’s an impossible ask, but the 6-0, 219-pound Nittany Lions back can help present some of the same looks that Boise State gives with Jeanty.

Jeanty, who is 132 rushing yards from breaking the all-time season record held by Barry Sanders, will be a major focal point for Penn State's defense. But so will Tyler Warren for Boise State's unit.

It is the first of the CFP quarter-finals as we continue our college football odds series with a Penn State-Boise State prediction and pick.
