I'm surprised his name hasn't been brought up in the MSU search
A couple of years ago the rumors were that he doesn't particularly want to be a head coach at this stage in his career.  Maybe he is now.

He was once rumored to be in the running for Central Michigan's head coaching job, so I'm kind of surprised nobody has brought him up.

But I also like it that way.  haha

That's kind of how Narduzzi was.  He was perfectly happy being a DC, and wasn't hellbent enough to become a HC, to take a Group of 5 job.  Once a P5 HC job came along, he took it

Ohio State 24, Penn State 19

That's about where I am.  I picked OSU to win, but I won't be surprised either way.  I think the low score is correct, tho.  Both defenses are very good, both offenses have just enough drawbacks to struggle with said defenses.  Maybe first team to 20 wins?

I remember a few years ago the PSU players said that the Michigan defense was calling out PSU's offensive plays before they happened.

At the time I just figured maybe PSU's offense was getting predictable.  But now....

I believe he was Justin Field's QB coach.

I never made a prediction, but after looking at things, I like Penn State by two touchdowns. I think OSU is a bit hampered by injuries, and their offensive line does not match up well at all against Penn State’s defensive line. 

Granted, a turnover or a big play or two could change everything. 

Penn state 28, OSU 13

I think that's reasonable. If the tackles can't hold up and McCord is under constant pressure, tough to see how OSU scores much.

Typical Michigan man. 
The irony of that coming from an OsU fan.

I think the game boils down to that exact area of the game. When McCord has time, he’s pretty solid. Under pressure is his biggest weakness. Hoping this is the best game of the season so far.

He was pressured that last drive against ND show showed some grit on the big stage. But this why they play the games. PSU center and Guards don't stink but they are vulnerable and the Buckeye tackles have been having a good year. Don't think it will be a 2 TD game 4-7 pts IMO.Not sure who hopefully McCord can spread it around to Marvin Stover and the rest

That’s actually a great point. He did buckle down on that drive when it mattered. That being said, I think he had plenty of time. He just doesn’t throw well on the run imo.

stover is one of the most underrated TE in the nation in my book. McCord should throw to him, Marvin and Egbuka 10 times each per game.
