I am more concerned with them playing too tight. Minny has nothing to lose and it is senior night. They can take all the chances and if they lose by 40, who cares?
If Minny plays their A game, all PSU has to do is play their B game. But if PSU turns the ball over, has 50+ yards in penalties along with a couple of drops by the WRs anything can happen. It is important to stabilize early and nullify the senior night energy.
I see a fairly good chance that PSU brings their A game. There's been so much punditry about PSU being overrated and ripe for an upset, the team might come out kind of angry and eager to prove the doubters wrong.
The other part of the Franklin record, aside from the big upsets, is that sometimes they have come out and just spanked teams in situations like this where people were doubting them. Like how they took it to Iowa last year. Or some of the wins over pretty good Wisconsin teams. Granted they haven't really spanked a good team this year but I do think it's possible, they have improved on O and D and they're getting some people back healthy.
