An old-school Big 10 battle might be in store this Saturday when Ohio State plays Penn State, but Buckeyes WR Jeremiah Smith will still make his impression felt.With a potential trip to the Big Ten Championship on the line, Ohio State and Penn State go toe-to-toe in a Top 4 showdown at Beaver Stadium.
To make matters worse, Simmons’ replacement, Zen Michalski, got injured against Nebraska and his availability is in doubt against theThe trio of Abdul Carter, Dani Dennis-Sutton, and Zane Durant have combined for 58 pressures this season and each has a pass rush win rate of 13.8% or better, per PFF. While Dennis-Sutton may miss the game with an injury, Carter and Durant should still create plenty of problems for Ohio State.
And the Buckeyes are a far more challenging matchup than USC or UCLA. Ohio State has the No. 1 defense by SP+ and is allowing the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game in the country . So while Penn State’s defense is top-notch, this secondary isn’t going to be able to shut down Smith. Against Wisconsin and USC, the Nittany Lions had some trouble against their go-to receivers.
