Penn St vs Ohio St Predictions
- Thread starter mcpat
- Start date
Donkoh hasn’t been able to get through games even if he starts. Just another reason to start Beau.
Maybe it should but if they deem Drew able to go he'll play. There's no way they're going to say he's good but the RT is out so we're sitting him.
You realize that Clubber made that prediction and then got the sh*t kicked out of him, right?
I think they try to play him--I think it's a mistake but hopefully I'm wrong and if he does play he's able to be effective.
If they run Howard 15-20 times by design and avoid having him in the pocket because they can't protect I like our odds
Running the QB will help with a less than stout OLine, Franklin did it for years fairly successfully.
Understand, but if they are even considering playing Allar I think they have to be sure Donkoh can play.
They are not running Howard 15-20 times. His running is a secondary weapon. They want to test our secondary with their 2 top 10 pick NFL WRs and run their two stud RBs. We have to take advantage of their weakened O-Line to not give Howard time to find Egbuka and Smith running open. Because they will be open. Need Durant, Ford to clog running lanes.
He does need to run as much for OSU with three top flight WRs.
IF we had a healthy Allar, Singleton, Onkoh, Sutton and Winston, I'd think Lions would have a decent chance of beating OSU mainly because it's a home game. But they're not healthy and it's a noon game, so I agree with the Bucks -4.5.
Exactly. PSU DL creating problems up the middle results in problems for OSU offense. I hope the PSU defensive staff doesn't over-blitze; especially if OSU is in 3rd & long. That will be a recipe for OSU explosive plays. Show them different looks and move Carter around.

27.1 yards per game * 34 games at KState. 13 per game at OSU.
I wouldn't call that "prolific". For reference, Drew is at 12.9 for his career, and there were too many instances in 2022 where he only came into the game (10) to hand off. If you throw that year out he is at 16.75 per game.
You don't see where your argument collapses onto itself? So Drew can only play if the guy who "can't make it through games" can definitely make it through this upcoming game? If there actually is a chronic injury issue, then it's next man up on the line, and the vest available QB (or RB or whatever) should play.
I think you guys get us this year, this Ohio State team is just missing the "it" factor. The LT is a big problem, but expect them to bump our LG to LT and the backup LG played the first few games of the season. Out biggest weakness on defense is out two ends are underachieving for sure and our LBs are average at best, hence why you see a rotation there. Plus, the lack of pressure has exposed our CBs a bit. Our defensive strength is by far our DTs
Howard just isn't really a running QB
He had 100 yards against OK State last year but that was largely due to a 70 yard run
He's a willing runner but if they're designing 15-20 runs for him they have no chance

Agreed--but we're discussing what Urban said they should do. Urban's not making sense with that one
$ might change it but not a win
All kids should do this--even after you're committed go watch some great games
No prediction, but a caution for us, should things go well...https://youtu.be/OQhOcDFbflQ?si=EDiEsQduaXedTKDr
I believe he was hurt either preseason or early in the season. Has Zollers played for his HS team this year?
If we were at full strength I would agree that we would have a legit shot, but we have lost three really good players and Allar is hobbled.
OSU has elite WRs. PSU brings the heat and leaves their DBs in man coverage.
A couple of big plays have been the difference in a lot of these games. I expect OSU to start out with a lot of quick release passes to counter PSU pressure. They'll also try to establish the run in spite of OL injuries. PSU will get some stops but sooner or later they'll get burned with Reed blitzing and Harris/Kimber in press man.
OSU 27, PSU 24
