Penn State vs Ohio State Preview
Ohio State took care of business last week against Indiana in a 54-7 romp, and the Buckeyes need a win over Penn State to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive.
The Buckeyes have won five straight since No. 7 Oregon stunned them 35-28 in Columbus on Sept. 11. Penn State looked like a team destined for a showdown with the Buckeyes as either an unbeaten team or one-loss squad early on.
Iowa and Illinois took care of that as the Nittany Lions stumbled from 5-0 to 5-2, and the Nittany Lions played nine overtimes on top of two games in the past two weeks. Penn State now looks to rebound against a conference rival it hasn’t beaten since 2016 and only twice since 2011.
Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud continues to shine with 1,965 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, a 67.6% completion rate, and three interceptions. Stroud’s main targets of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all have 29 or more catches and 518 or more yards.
Olave leads Buckeyes receivers with eight touchdowns, and Wilson has eight. Smith-Njigba and fellow pass-catchers Jeremy Ruckert and TreVeyon Henderson each have three touchdowns.
Henderson dominates on the ground for the Buckeyes with 8.8 rushing yards per carry and 11 touchdowns. He has 693 yards on 79 carries overall. Miyan Williams, Master Teague, and Marcus Crowley are also threats when touching the ball — averaging more than five yards per carry.
Penn State’s defense allows 323.9 yards of total offense per game but has some playmakers on that side of the ball. Arnold Ebiketie has a team-high 5.5 sacks, and Ji’ayir Brown has three interceptions.
Sean Clifford leads the Nittany Lions offense with 1,647 yards passing, a 64.6% completion percentage, 12 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. Jaha Dotson has been the go-to receiver for Clifford with 49 receptions for 563 yards and six touchdowns.
Noah Cain leads the rushing attack with 10 touchdowns, and he takes the majority of carries but only averages 3.1 yards per attempt. Keyvone Lee compliments him in the backfield with 228 yards and four touchdowns on 45 carries.
Ohio State’s defense will look to slow down the Nittany Lions and continue its trend of holding teams under 20 points in the past four weeks. Haskell Garrett has a team-high 4.5 sacks, and Tyleik Williams has four. Ronnie Hickman and Craig Young have shown their playmaking ability with two interceptions apiece.
