The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off an extremely impressive prime-time victory over the Indiana Hoosiers as they piled on the scoreboard to the tune of 54-7. This week the Penn State Nittany Lions will be coming to Columbus to try and right the ship, also at night, after a devastating nine overtime loss to a very inconsistent and often challenged Illinois Fighting Illini.
This game has lost a bit of its luster with Penn State how having lost two in a row, but this will still be a key match-up for Ohio State. The Nittany Lions likely have the most talented roster the Buckeyes have seen up to this point, so this could be a tough out if they play up to their capabilities. Now let’s dive into what our staff members say will happen with the is game.

Ohio State 34, Penn State 20
This matchup sure looks like two teams headed in opposite directions. Ohio State has figured some things out on defense and has continued to get even more explosive on offense as the season has progressed, looking nearly unstoppable now. Penn State’s defense will be the best the Buckeyes have faced all season, but the Nittany Lions won’t be able to score enough points to keep up. It’ll be a physical and tough battle with OSU coming out on top somewhat handily.
