Last year when these two teams faced off it was quite the battle with the Ohio State Buckeyes coming out ahead 39-38.
Ohio State Buckeyes
The Ohio State Buckeyes look like a National Title contender and they come into this game having won each of the first four games.
The old saying goes good teams win but great teams cover. The Buckeyes have covered three of the four games and the one game they didn’t cover they missed by only one point.
The Buckeyes are led at quarterback by Dwayne Haskins who might be the best quarterback that Urban Meyer has had at Ohio State, at least in terms of passing the ball.
He has thrown for 1194 yards, 16 touchdowns and one interception. His numbers could be better if he actually had to play full games.

In this game it’s going to come down to how well Haskins plays. If he can play like he did the first four games the Buckeyes shouldn’t have an issue in this game.
Penn State Nittany Lions
On the other side of this matchup is the Penn State Nittany Lions who also come into this game with a perfect record and expectations are high for this season.
In their last game they took on the Fighting Illini and they let them keep it close through halftime. In the second half they dominated the game putting up 63 points on the way to an easy victory.
The Nittany Lions are led by Trace McSorely who has thrown for 764 yards, eight touchdowns and only two interceptions.

In this game it’s going to come down to the defense to start. They need to try and slow down the Buckeyes offense to start.
