Our early Ohio State vs. Penn State predictions anticipate a very close, low-scoring, defensive slugfest.
For the defense-inclined football fan, this Ohio State vs. Penn State clash will be a thing of beauty. For others, not so much. Expect both stop units to show up and keep this score low.In one of the biggest games of the college football season, Ohio State heads to Happy Valley to take on Penn State in a battle of two Top 4 teams.
The run game was non-existent in the four-point win, and Will Howard was constantly under pressure. Ohio State’s biggest question coming into the season was the offensive line, and taking the best player out of its front has thrown the offense out of whack. If he can suit up, I expect Penn State to cover, but Ohio State to win somewhere in the ballpark of 23-20. If Allar can’t go, I’d expect the Buckeyes to cover this spread — it will also likely move closer to six points if that’s the caseThese teams aren’t all that different. Both play tremendous defense, are led by QBs who are more efficient than spectacular, and have a pair of running backs that will be playing on Sundays in the future.
The Nittany Lions' top running back Nicholas Singleton has been banged up as of late, and running into a defense that’s No. 3 in EPA per rush and holding opponents to the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game in the country will be nearly impossible to overcome.
