Four times in the last eight seasons, Ohio State and Penn State have played with both teams ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll. This season, that will not be the case. It was widely believed it would be at the start of the season, but four straight losses for the Nittany Lions […]

Indiana and Ohio State are still highly favored to make it to Indianapolis, and there […]

The last time the Buckeyes took the field was two weeks ago in Madison, where they blanked Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers 34-0.

USC-Nebraska! Penn State-Ohio State! Uh…football! We’ve done about all the pre-Halloween prep in the MNW household. The pumpkins are gutted, with just a couple left to carve, we’ve taken the obligatory “infant in a pumpkin” photo (she sat great, totally unperturbed, happiest six-month-old ever), candy’s bought, pumpkin seeds ready to be roasted, pizza dough purchased […]

Last week ATS: 7-8 (4-4 National, 3-4 B1G) Season ATS: 81-77 (33-40 National, 48-37 B1G) So far this year it has felt like we’ll have one big weekend a month and the rest of the time we are either a game above or below .500. It’s hard to get mad about since our season record […]

Coming into the season, this weekend’s matchup was circled as one of the marquee showdowns on the college football calendar. While things have gone a bit sideways in Happy Valley and the game might not carry the same top-ten billing it once promised, Ohio State isn’t taking Penn State lightly.

The buildup this week to No. 1 Ohio State playing Penn State is not what it has been in previous seasons, for obvious reasons. Penn State is 3-4 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, and they have already fired head coach James Franklin after three straight losses to Oregon, UCLA, and Northwestern. In their first […]

I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]

Ohio State is still 7-0 following the bye week and is now preparing to host Penn State this weekend. A game that looked to be one of the most challenging on Ohio State’s schedule at the start of the year has certainly lost some of its flair with Penn State’s disappointing season. However, do not […]
