We share our biggest questions entering the game, pick some players to watch and make our best bets for Ohio State’s top-10 showdown with Penn State.
The eyes of the college football world will be fixated on Columbus this afternoon as Ohio State hosts Penn State in a battle of unbeaten top-10-ranked teams at Ohio Stadium. The stakes for this year’s clash between the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are as high as ever as both teams enter today’s game tied with Michigan for the Big Ten East lead and with real aspirations to make the College Football Playoff.
It's hard to quantify the exact effectiveness of an offensive line in pass protection, but it does feel as though the Buckeyes' front five has held up better in that area than in run blocking. Ohio State's only taken 10 sacks in six games, tied for 40th-least in the country. Eleven months later, the Buckeyes are playing in another high-stakes game one week after Hayden stepped up in a big way on the road. Will they give him a chance to build off his momentum this time? That could depend in part on the health of Henderson, Williams and Chip Trayanum, but I think they should even if the other running backs are healthy.
