Which is why we hate noon kickoffs.

Great kid and great story. I do wonder if that really horrible injury he suffered will prevent him from ever reaching his full potential. He’s been solid this year but not spectacular. Rooting hard for him!

WE ARE!!!

15.5 is a crazy line for this game. Honestly, I’m expecting something like 30-27 OSU, with a real chance of Penn State winning. Smith-Njigba being out really helps us. Him being out is significant enough that I think the line should have moved in response.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Sutherland starting over Carter lol

I wouldn't pay too much attention to announced starters.

 

[LandoComando]

Sutherland starting over Carter lol

It's stupid but not surprising and doesn't really matter as long as Carter plays more than Sutherland

The Michigan game is driving the line but it could be very close or it could be over by the half. I honestly think it's a 1 score game or we lose by 30+

You are making ajoke? HaHa

 

[bdgan]

Chop?

 

[bdgan]

Has anybody picked PSU? Even our own beat writers?

 

[PennSt8er]

in before the pain. go Cliff go.

 

[The Spin Meister]

Here my Spin: Clifford has always been a hot n cold QB. Kinda streaky. Last week he was hot and that should, army over to this week. He also has a history of getting excited and overthrowing open receivers. But being a sixty eight year senior he should have enough experience in big games and stay calm at the start and play well.

Last week the F was aggressive and played at a high speed.Need to repeat that performance. The O line is always a ? and needs to play well. And the play calling needs to help the line by calling a good mix, quick passes, Quick hitting runs. And seeing Singleton get two TDs with a lot of passion was a great sign that he is back up to,speed.

The Buckeyes have had a very weak schedule. Never been tested. And the crowd is already load and could rival a Whiteout experience. Huge help.


As usual a close game. PSU wins, 27-24........if the B1G referines allow it.

 

[LandoComando]

Has anybody picked PSU? Even our own beat writers?

Doubt it--ideally they wouldn't just pick us because they're our beat writers
Most on CBS said we'd lose against the spread. Only Herbstreit thinks we keep it close.

 

[LandoComando]

Stop

Richie picked them!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Not sure how it's going to come through on television but it is LOUD in here.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State won the toss and defers. Ohio State set to receive.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Ohio State set to start at their own 25 after a touchback.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Abdul Carter did get the start at linebacker.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State gets a bit lucky, Marvin Harrison was wide open but a poor throw and he can't get his feet in bounds.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Marin Harrison makes up for it though and beats Kalen King for a big gain, Ohio State on to Penn State's side of the field.

 

[LandoComando]

Can't give that up on 3rd and long

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Kalen King didn't too all much wrong there, Marvin Harrison Jr just a fantastic WR.

 

[JoePano19]

gotta get a stop on 3rd and 10.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Ohio State is kept to a field goal, Penn State's defense recovers nicely from the big third-down conversion.

 

[JoePano19]

I'll take the opening drive FG for now. Need some stops and DEFINITELY
some turnovers .

 

[LandoComando]

Overall that's not a bad start--big stand after the long pass

 

[PSUcup1]

Ok. Bad 3rd and long give up. But nice recovery to keep it at 3. Let’s go

 

[NCLION]

Can’t go three and out here
no run straight up middle on first

 

[ryoder1]

We are getting them third and long which is a good sign.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Ooof. Sean Clifford has a ball batted at the line of scrimmage and former Penn State target Zach Harrison picks it off an the Buckeyes are in plus field position.
