OSU vs Penn State Preview
Ohio State is fresh from a 41-7 trouncing of the Purdue Boilermakers last weekend. Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord went 16-of-28 for 276 yards and three touchdowns, while future top-5 pick Marvin Harrison Jr. added six catches for 105 yards and a score.
Ohio State shined on defense yet again in the win, surrendering just 257 total yards while allowing 3.7 yards per play. The Buckeyes also forced three fumbles. OSU is averaging 36.0 points a game on offense behind McCord. Defensively, it’s allowing 9.7 points (that’s ranked third in the nation) and 263.7 total yards per contest.
On the other side, the Nittany Lions have been white hot to start the season led by quarterback Drew Allar. Like the Buckeyes, Penn State has yet to lose, and it is coming off an impressive win of its own.
PSU handed UMass a 63-0 loss on October 14. Allar completed 16-of-23 passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns, also rushing for a score.
On offense, the Nittany Lions are putting up 44.3 points per game, which is ranked sixth in the country. PSU has been effective in the red zone (18th in the nation), and that will be key for the Buckeyes. On defense, Penn State boasts the second-ranked ‘D’ in the NCAA, allowing just 8.0 points and 193.7 total yards per game.
Last year, Penn State lost to the Buckeyes, 44-31. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is 4-0 against Penn State.
OSU vs Penn State: What They’re Saying
“I know the games have been close in recent history, coming down to the fourth quarter when one team kind of pulls away or the other,” Marvin Harrison Jr. said about playing Penn State. “But I think for the goals we’re trying to accomplish as a team, make it to the Big Ten championship, Penn State’s definitely one of those teams that year in year out you have to go through.”
“They’re a great team. They’re a great program. They have great tradition,” Drew Allar added. “At the end of the day, we all came to Penn State to play in games like this. They went to Ohio State to play in games like this as well.”
