Mississippi State faces a challenging game against Toledo, a team that has not had a losing season since 2009 and is tied for 18th nationally in scoring. The Bulldogs are looking to recover from a recent loss to Arizona State before they start their SEC play against Florida. Meanwhile, Michigan seeks a confidence-boosting win against Arkansas State following a tough loss to Texas, with quarterback Davis Warren struggling to find his rhythm. Penn State narrowly escaped an upset against Bowling Green after a strong start to their season, but they will be without key players like tight end Andrew Rappleyea and linebacker Ta'Mere Robinson in their next game. Despite these challenges, Penn State remains a heavy favorite and looks to build on their recent offensive improvements under new coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.
