That's surprising considering how they looked vs Nebraska last week at home.



Ohio State rushed for 64 yards on 31 carries.

Against a team that lost 56-7 to Indiana a week prior.

And needed last minute defensive stops to eek out a win. PSU is no prize but Whiteouts are no joke. Whoever would bet Ohio State is crazy. Plus Ohio State should've dropped in the Polls. Texas dropped after looking average against Vandy. Remember when they said Polls would be fluid week to week. Methinks this $20 million dollar Ohio State team has money spread around outside of campus.

I would be extremely surprised if Penn State wins, particularly with Allar less than 100%. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get blown out badly.

I'm SMH as to why this is a noon kickoff being a top 5 match up. That's pitiful

We feel their pain. Long way down from the days of Elliot and Fournette.

Ohio State's Offensive Line has been decimated by injury, and it was their weak link to begin with.

Yes Ohio State will win. The 2016 game was a fluke for Penn State.

Ohio State was up 21-17 with four minutes left or so in the fourth quarter attempting a field goal to go up by 10. Penn State blocked it and returned it for a touchdown to go up 24-21, which was the final score.

Franklin is a good Vanderbilt coach. He is not good enough for Penn State.

It shows you the oddsmaker's opinion of the polls, I guess?

Will never see that in the SEC. Fox, just like everyone else is in the business of viewership, amirite? Did I mention 9am kickoff on the west coast? It's silly to have a game of this magnitude to be played a lunch time. I never said anything about it not being good and fun.

Good games should be played at night. Screw noon kickoffs

Especially in the 2nd Largest Stadium in Country & an environment as loud and cool as the PSU Whiteout.

Agree, the whiteouts look so much better under the lights at night.

It's the way the BIG contract and TV slots work out.

The first pick of games rotates between FOX, CBS, and NBC who all have different slots. Fox had first pick here and their designated slot is 12 ET.

I'm sure PSU would rather have the game at night.

I like having a huge game in that slot instead of multiple ones at night. B1G was meant to be played at noon eastern.

I agree with everything but the turmoil in Columbus.
