Fwiw, PSU had the lead LATE GAME in 2017, 2018, 2022, and lost the lead. In the last 8 matchups, only 3 times did the 4Q start with >4 point lead, and 2 of those 3 times, the leading team lost. This year both teams have a “slow start” problem. OSU is ranked highly in early game performance, but PSU ranked highly in late game performance (even with Q4 allowing non starters to regularly come in) I think PSU’s demonstrated ability to FINISH football games this year will factor greatly. Provided OSU doesn’t take an insane lead early.
I've been banging the drum that this PSU team is incredibly reminiscent of Michigan's 2022 team, and what you just said fits that year's Michigan/OSU game perfectly. OSU landed haymakers in the 1st half, but Michigan kept it close. They come outta the locker rooms at halftime and the Wolverines take over. Michigan was a run-first, explosive offense with a stout defense that was savant-like in the second-half of games. In fact, seven games into this season, Penn State outscores opponents 130-31 in the 2nd half. Michigan in 2022? 140-48. Both teams with a ton of upperclassmen who have all played together for years, both teams able to close games out.
@@kylebernadyn2465 Great insight. I am worried (as always) about the talent gap that OSU always seems to have. While no MHJ this year, much talent at WR and RB still. Is this talent extinguishable without equal talent blocking them? For example, will OSU’s OL cracks prove fatal as they did against Nebraska? Or was that an overlook and are we back to dominant OSU talent run games come Saturday.
@@Elijah-e1z how do they beg to differ? The offense did the exact same thing it did in the first half against Oregon it was the defense that struggled the entire game. Nebraska was a weird game where they were trying to figure out the run game with a brand new Offensive line, the only 2 times they threw the ball down the field it was a TD both times if Ohio state wanted to throw all over this team they would have but they decided they needed to figure out the run vs a shitty team instead of figuring it out later
If you told me before this season that by the time they faced each other, Penn State would have the better record, would have the momentum, and would be getting better while Ohio State seemed to be going backwards, I'd have thought you were having a fit.
I hope Ohio State isn’t stubborn with their offensive play calling against PSU. They refused to adapt to Nebraska loading the box and playing tight gaps along the D Line last week.
Only ? with this game...Will PSU offense go in to their typical OSU/Michigan shell? Franklin 1-9 vs OSU...its all up to Franklin/staff to call a game to win it rather than to lose it..which is the norm.
This is the most hopeful I've been for a PSU win over OSU since 2017. It all lines up too well for PSU, even with Allar's injury. But you gotta expect OSU to win this one until they prove you wrong 😢
Day, Kelly. Don't be stubborn like you were against Neb. Use the pass to open up the run game. The Oregon game could've gone either way. Yds almost the same. 1-pt diff. Now beat PSU!!!
James Franklin has already said during a press conference that Allar and Dani Dennis-Sutton (star DE) will be game-time decisions, which most people realize is purely a strategic move to force Ryan Day into a situation where he has to spend time planning for both.. James Franklin is trying to play chess, but we’ll see how well it works. He has a tendency to get in his own way.
It’s not complicated. Ohio State has better talent and more resources than Penn State. They will have more NIL every year as well. Franklin has done a decent job with fewer resources. There’s no mystery here guys. I think Penn State has a chance to win in some years, and may win this year, but Ohio State is still the more talented team. This is from a Penn State fan.
Exactly. Just like Lavar Arrington said last year about Penn State and Ohio State. Ohio St has more money… plain and simple. That’s the reason they’re perennially better. And until Penn State can match them monetarily, it’ll always be much harder for Penn state to win.
If I’m not rooting for the buckeyes, there are two other teams that I will root for. One is Oregon and the other is Penn State because I like James Franklin. It should be a great game.
I'm a buckeye fan but I believe Ryan day has to go for his own good he looks so stressed out every week he looks like he's in pain he can't handle the pressure at Ohio State and the team plays like he looks very stressful
The games narrative is entirely around recency bias and perception not reality. Penn State struggled with Boston College and Wisconsin. They’re looking really good. Ohio State struggles as always after a bye week and lost a 1 point game to the now number one team in the country because the clock expired. Penn State was not a force offensive against really anyone Kent State and USC and USC they almost lost. I think Ohio State COULD lose. Absolutely but it also makes sense that they’re currently favored.
@@JoeWill-t5i Bowling Green was one of the better teams Penn State has faced. As a Bowling Green student and fan, Penn State played so much better in the 2nd half, but they struggled in the first half and a bit in the 2nd. Wisconsin has one of the better defensive teams in the country. Shouldn’t have been that close, but I saw it as a trap game. Penn State has more momentum than Ohio State, and if Penn State wants to win, they need to win the line of scrimmage against the Buckeye offensive line.
I think it’s hilarious they tried to PAY for a natty that they still won’t win.🤣🤣🤣 Their biggest rival won a natty and they were in shambles, they empty their pockets trying to build some NFL roster and they still won’t be undefeated champs. Idk, makes me laugh. 🤣💙💛
Don't like to be that guy, but refs will find a way to make sure OSU wins. We're convinced The powers that be want Oregon and Ohio State for the B1G championship game. Ratings are important to them. That first half of the Nebraska game was so rigged. It proved to me that they want to steer outcomes for their agenda. After that they will also influence outcomes to get their desired final 2.
All of the Amazing, Incredible talent and All of the Millions and Millions spent but Ohio State is Falling Far, Far Short... They are going to get Beat by Penn St. ... by Indiana. Maybe... Maybe.. beat Michigan. OSU shoulda been Invincible... Instead will Probably finish 9-3...
Do you not realize there’s about 20 teams who spent just as much if not more than Ohio state and Ohio state spent the money to retain talent from the nfl not to bring new in
I feel sorry for Caleb Downs because he is a real football player he's not used to this Ohio State he played for the great Nick Saban team Caleb Downs looks like he's on steroids and the rest of the team looks like they're worn out
LMFAO! In what world is winning 28-13 on the road outgainjng your opponent 419-298 yards with your backup QB “barely winning” OSU were mere minutes away from losing to Nebraska, THAT is barely winning.
They're not winning without allar and won't either way. Franklin is sn overrated coach. He wins games when they have more talent and loses when they don't. He's got the best roster right now and they're at home so if not now then it'll be never
Michigan had their day after swinging and missing many times with harbaugh, then 21 came and they got it done and continued to. (Yes I know some idiots will throw out "cheating") . This is Penn states time to bury those bums and send crying Ryan out of town. Must win Saturday, will be rooting for you guys. Go blue
It's hard to call people idiots when your little buddy stallions is on video on this website doing what you claim he didn't. But all that aside...it's great to NOT be a michigan wolverqueen!
They did vastly improve when they started cheating. We’re all waiting to see if the NCAA will give us all the green light to cheat. We’ll know pretty soon…
Ohio State needs to go down. Penn State needs to win this game and Indiana will beat Ohio State. Then we don't have to listen to these Ohio State fans running there mouths every year until they get hammered by MICHIGAN like in the last 3 years which of course won't happen this year. Money Ohio tried to buy a championship this year by spending 20 million! What a joke. They forgot one thing. The players have to play as a TEAM not for the money as they are doing.
You really do not know Ohio State… keep you demeaning bias n u will be shocked on Saturday… have u ever met a wounded tiger.. Ohio State will shred the Nittany Lions

It comes down to Buckeyes offensive line. If they’re healthy Buckeyes win. If the Buckeyes can’t run and refuse to go vertical they lose
Now this is true. OSU only passed 16 times against Nebraska and completed 13. They couldn't run the ball. The Def is still pretty strong.
