: Penn State. If not now, when? Coach James Franklin's record against top-10 teams is nothing to write home about but Ohio State feels wounded in some way as the Buckeyes couldn't run the ball against Nebraska and just don't seem as totally dominant as in years past. Drew Allar is banged up but practiced this week and the Nittany Lions remain undefeated even if some wins haven't been pretty. A big group of recruits will be in Happy Valley and the place should be rocking. Penn State should be able to make the playoff even with a loss, but it still feels like the expectation here is for the Lions to hold on at home.

Smith: Penn State has a gigantic opportunity ahead this weekend. Not only is this game critical for the perception of coach James Franklin, it’s important for recruiting. The program is treating it that way, too. About 100 prospects from coast to coast will be in Happy Valley this weekend, including four-star Missouri QB commit Matt Zollers, Michigan four-star tight end commit Andrew Olesh and 2026 four-star defensive back Jakob Weatherspoon.
