weather calls for a whiteout, all fans will be in white for primetime game.
penn state offense is better than their defense this year believe it or not, i know its unusual but against a team like ohio state you will see what i mean with misdirections, mobile qb, and throwing deep of play action, that can get psu in trouble. you will see #27 for penn state chasing guys all game after they have caught the ball if psu doesnt not get pressure.
ohio state linebacker core is terrible, guys are playing way out of position there, one is a running back i believe i read and another is a d lineman. penn state tight ends will chew them up.
the kicker cost penn state 4 missed fgs and xp against uva in 1 point loss, he should cost psu another win this year at least, is this the game?
as a penn state fan observing, psu played the best they ever have at iowa a place they notoriously struggle, and have absolutely dominated the 1st quarter of games 66-0 this year and and an ungodly amount in the first half. ohio state must start fast.
psu is 6-1 ats this yr while ohio state is skating by the likes of indiana, cal, purdue, two of which at home.
penn state fans will be clapping everytime osu is doing their cadence as they use a silent count when on offense by clapping the snap count.
ohio state is out for revenge after penn state went to cbus last yr and won outright as a huge dog after paterno had left.
this game should be a great one either way.
enjoy, i am biased but being as objective as i can i dont see one team in this conference that i am scared to play at all, especially at home.
would not surprise me to see ohio state win or penn state blow them out. tough game to get a read on and many psu games have been easy to get a read on.
with that analysis on made my bet on ohio state and thank you. it seemed like you knew what was going to happen if osu exploited that weakness on their d.
