It should be the game of the week in college football — and by far the toughest test the Buckeyes have faced to date — when No. 2 Ohio State heads to Happy Valley to play No. 13 Penn St…

Ohio State has stomped on four straight Big Ten teams enduring tough seasons — Wisconsin, Rutgers, Michigan State, Iowa — and three of those games were in Columbus. This week’s trip is a chance for the Buckeyes to answer critics who say they “haven’t played anyone yet.” The Nittany Lions bounced back from their first loss of the season, 41-17 to then-No. 5 Michigan, by racing past Minnesota 45-17.
On this five-game winning streak, Ohio State has won by margins of nine, 13, 11, one and one. And in 2016, Penn State got the better of the Buckeyes, 24-21 in State College. To list Penn State as a 15-point home underdog during a year in which it’s playing very solid football is rather over the top. The Nittany Lions are also healthier, at least marginally, than the Buckeyes. Yes, Clifford got banged up against Michigan, but he returned to form against Minnesota. Ohio State is not at full force as it likely will keep top receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a “pitch count” and could be without senior cornerback Cameron Brown.
