#7 Penn State (3-1, 6-1) at #3 Ohio State (4-0, 7-0) Post Game
« on: October 15, 2023, 04:18:10 PM »
So the three-game B1G-E round-robin Championship begins Saturday in Columbus.

All three will be at noon on Fox, the other two are Michigan at Penn State on Veteran's Day and Ohio State at Michigan on the Saturday of Turkey day weekend.

The winner here isn't a lock and the loser isn't eliminated but the winner controls their own destiny and is obviously in a much better situation than the loser who has no margin for error AND needs help.

Ohio State is favored by 4.5 points early on.  My gut says the Buckeyes cover and then some but that may just be a reflex.  I don't buy into the Buckeye injury bug thing.  Ohio State is talent saturated and their second and third stringers could start most other places.  Great opportunity for Penn State to show what they got.

leaning Ohio State, but it's a toss-up. Ohio State *should* win on paper but, who knows. 

I'll go Ohio State- 27, Penn State 24.

This series goes back more than a century but that is a bit misleading because there was a 40+ year gap between the first game in 1912 and the second in the mid 1950's. 

These teams have met 38 times with the Buckeyes holding a 24-14 advantage. That makes Ohio State the Lions' second most frequent opponent among current B1G teams behind only Maryland. 

Prior to joining the league Penn State had a 6-2 advantage:

  • PSU won the first four in 1912, 1956, 1963, and 1964 all in Columbus. 
  • tOSU won at home and on the road in 1975/6.
  • PSU won in Columbus in 1978, Woody's last season. 
  • PSU won the only postseason match-up in the Fiesta Bowl at the end if the 1980 season.


Penn State has been much less successful against the Buckeyes since joining the league.  I attended the very first league game between tOSU and PSU in Columbus as a freshman on Halloween weekend of 1993. The Buckeyes won that one and have more-or-less dominated the series ever since. Penn State is just 8-22 in league games against Ohio State with a 6-9 record at home and a 2-13 record in Columbus. 

Penn State is 1-10 in the last 11 meetings.

Let's Go Buckeyes!!!!

I'm also going with a toss up game, with The Shoe being the difference for the good guys to squeak out a victory.

I am predicting a double digit win for PSU. 

PSU 31,  OSU 17

PSU scored 30+ on WV, ILL, Iowa, NW.  They should be able to do the same on OSU.

OSU scored 23 on Ind and 17 on ND.  I expect then to score about 17 on PSU.

I guess it could happen, but I think that Maryland and Notre Dame both have better offenses than Penn State and were both held under 20.  Penn State has by far the best defense the Buckeyes will face, while on the other side I think the Buckeye offense is competent enough to not let the defense get totally gassed like Iowa did in the 2nd half of their game.

I don't think either team will reach 30.  I'm expecting a 24-20 type of ball game, and it's definitely a toss up.

That 1912 noncon was Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State. It was a B1G East schedule, back when none of them were in the Big Ten

Coin flip.  

There is one injury that will impact for OSU, in my opinion. 

Their lockdown corner- status unknown. ( Denzel Burke- having a GREAT season)

I don't see that getting any better for the Lions this time, barring key injuries or crazy turnovers.  I've got OSU by 10.  

But, I'm wrong a lot.

Lions DEs Isaac & Robinson could create some problems for 1st yr Buckeye tackles.They are pretty deep there along with Lions LBs appear pretty stout also. Should be a good close contest,not sure how Allar from down the road in Medina has been playing. I think we have a poster around here who is from there

Yeah, we do.

I watched him play in HS and wish he'd gone to Columbus.
