Well first truly big game of the year in my book, nothing against ND!
This comes down to McCord making the plays he needs and that defense shutting down a Joe Pa Lions.

Drew Allar has the least amount of 20+ yard pass attempts in the Big Ten at 12. Of those 12 5 of them were attempted against UMASS and he only completed 1. I expect Ohio State's defense to be aggressive and not allow dinks and dunks and make Allar complete throws downfield. I like the Buckeyes to win by two scores in this at home.

Penn State’s defense will bring a challenge. McCord needs to step up big.

If OSU PSU AND UM all lose 1 game who goes to the championship game I think it could happen?

The Penn St corners are pretty good. I think it will be trench warfare. I hope we can stop the run consistently. I'll take the under at 46.5 points. |

I heard an interesting take from 97.1 the fan today in Columbus, OH. One of the guys said he believes Penn State will be the “most talented” team the Buckeyes face this year.

Ohio State’s offense is the best Penn State has seen so far by a wide margin as well.

McCord and Allar are setting QB play back about a decade today.
Franklin and company are complete idiots. With no Egbuka they should have Harrison bracketed every single play. Instead they are allowing Harrison to drag the buckeyes up and down the field.

Surprised by Allar given all the hype surrounding him for years.

Ohio State stopped the run and the Penn State receivers had no chance.

Until the last drive Penn State’s offense only had 30 more yards than Harrison. Why wouldn’t you triple team him and make someone else beat you?
Penn State’s quarterback’s accuracy is 💩. The state of Ohio won in that trade.

If I didn’t know any better, I would alleged Allar was paid off. He was just horrible. Not one threat down field, not ONCE! Penn State is doing is a disservice to their fan base putting an offense like that out there.

Great game by the defense. A lot of people criticize McCord, but he does enough to win the game and that matters.

The state of Ohio won in that trade. Did you see how wide open he was on some plays? It was almost like they didn't scout him at all. Penn St needs to talk to Harbaugh about how they can get someone in the stands for prior games. |

I'm glad THE OSU won the game, but if the Bucks didn't have the best receiver in the nation, I doubt McCord's performance would have been enough. McCord and the run game are going to have to get a lot better. |

I'm not making a statement for McCord's performance, but with the roster the Bucks have the 16 targets to Harrison would have gone to someone else. |

I think it’s always easy to point out just how important Maserati Marv is to the team. Take him away and what do they do? At this point in the season no one knows because it hasn’t happened, but given that horrible scenario I still believe in the Bucks to work through it.

My point is we KNOW what happens when you let him get the ball. I hope OSU has other options. If I were a D coordinator I’d make them prove it.

Anyone hear what is wrong with Egbuka? Henderson?
Since it is so secret I wonder if it is something minor and they are just getting rest. If so, would they both be out if the roster was not so deep and talented?

The WR room is loaded, people seem to be forgetting this. |

McCord had several throws that were either in front or behind the receiver. If we’re going to rain on Xichigan parade we need Kyle to be better.
