Ohio State vs. Penn State: Preview, Prop Pick and Prediction
A game that caters to those who yearn for tough-guy football and an era in which defense actually did win championships is our pick for the game of the week.
Coming off a 63-0 pasting of Massachusetts last Saturday, Penn State aims to make a major case for inclusion in the College Football Playoff; after Saturday, only a Nov. 11 home date with No. 2 Michigan stands as a serious impediment prior to a potential Big Ten title matchup . Rabid backers of either side should probably keep their money on the sideline until the availability report is released by the Buckeyes a few hours prior to kickoff.
"I'm not going to get into all those guys, but hopefully we'll have those guys back for Saturday," Day said. The Nittany Lions rank first in the nation in pass defense and total yards and second in points and rushing yards allowed . According to Action Network numbers, Ohio State ranks fifth in Passing Success Rate Allowed but 64th in passing explosiveness allowed. That means Allar, the king of checkdowns this season against inferior opponents, will need to take a downfield chance or two.
