College Football Preview: #3 Alabama, #23 Penn State

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (CBS) - It should be an interesting match-up in Happy Valley on Saturday, as Joe Paterno's 23rd-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions host Nick Saban's 3rd-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Nittany Lions smoked Indiana State in their opener last weekend, 41-7 (see related story), while the Tide rolled Kent State, 48-7.

These two teams met last season in Tuscaloosa, with Alabama smothering Penn State, 24-3.

KYW's Matt Leon caught up with Mark Brennan, editor of FightonState.com, to talk Penn State football and break down this match-up with Alabama.
