The irony of that coming from an OsU fan.
Fact.

My brain picked the Buckeyes to win but my gut thinks the Nitts get the upset.  All I can say is that Ohio State better load up more flame than smoke for when they take the field.

Penn State  24
Ohio State.  17

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.
We all have bad picks here and there, but woof.  31 points?

The only thing I felt good about was the under.  I don't want to judge Franklin on winning in Columbus.  But I will say that if he can't beat the Watergate Wolverines at home, PSU needs to decide what they want to be.  He's very good.  PSU is a legit top 10 program.  I think with divisions going away and the playoff expanding, he has more than earned a chance to see how he fares in the new world

I don’t know if Allar stinks, the WRs stink, the OL stinks or 3 of them stink.

As an Ohio State fan, optimistically, I hope that all three are at least as good as we thought and tOSU just made them look that bad but, I kinda doubt it.

kinda thought their OL was overrated and actually not that good before this one and nothing moved me off that. definitely thought their WRs were mid before and still think that. I THOUGHT that Allar was probably legit and potentially even a top tier QB- but am now questioning that.

It's funny that people complain about PSU not having enough big plays while they're averaging 44 points per game. 
good call....

FYI coming into today Penn State ranked No. 132 of 133 FBS teams in explosive play rate and No. 95 in yards per play.

Drew Allar ranked dead last in the Big Ten in average depth of target.

Today Penn State's offense:

12 points - of which half came on a garbage time touchdown down 2 TD's scored with 20 seconds left in game
240 yards
3.5 yards per play
4.5 yards per pass attempt
1.9 yards per carry
1/16 on third down

Maybe people were onto something in terms of the lack of explosives and poor yards per play avg...

Penn State averaging 28.5 PPG in B1G play. 26.2 PPG less than what they averaged in OOC play vs WVU, an FCS team, and UMAss.

Where’s the Harrison Jr. Heisman hype?  Now’s the time to fire up the PR machine because he’s that good and has a shot.

he should be getting that kinda love- but the Heisman typically disrespects WRs. Only a handful have ever been seriously considered and even fewer have actually won- and usually it's guys that also return like Tim Brown/Des

Agreed, and I'll add that obviously Harrison and his dad understand the NFL. If the goal was to win a Heisman for Marv, I think you'd see him returning punts and possibly playing a little situational CB (like Gamble in 2002 but for different reasons).

PR would help a Heisman campaign but it makes no sense for the team or for Marv as an NFL prospect.

Right now who has had better seasons than JJ or MH? But I'd like gladly hand the hardware to JJ - and the Bowl curse that goes with it
