No. 10 Penn State (3-0) at Michigan (1-2) 3:30 pm EDT

ANN ARBOR, Michigan (Ticker) -- Penn State has been waiting along time to give Michigan its comeuppance. This may finally bethe Nittany Lions' year.


The 10th-ranked Nittany Lions try to beat the Wolverines for thefirst time since 1996 when they visit the "Big House" onSaturday for their Big Ten Conference opener.


Michigan has won eight straight games over Penn State, includinga 17-10 triumph in State College last year, but has struggledmightily this season after losing five defensive regulars fromits 2006 squad to the NFL.


The Wolverines, who are concluding a four-game homestand, wereshocked by Football Championship Subdivision power AppalachianState, 34-32, in their season opener, then absorbed their worstloss since 1968 with a 39-7 defeat to Oregon on September 8.

Last week, however, Michigan bounced back to crush Notre Dame,38-0. Filling in for the injured Chad Henne, true freshman RyanMallett completed just seven passes but three went fortouchdowns. Mallett will start again this week.


Star running back Mike Hart, who had guaranteed a Wolverinevictory, ran for 187 yards and a pair of scores in the rout.

Penn State, meanwhile, improved to 3-0 on the season with a45-24 victory over Buffalo last week.


Anthony Morelli threw for a career-best four touchdowns andbackup tailback Rodney Kinlaw ran for 129 yards and a score forthe Nittany Lions, who trailed, 3-0, before scoring 31 straightpoints in a 16-minute span over the middle two quarters.
