How good do you think Penn State is? The were beaten pretty soundly by Notre Dame who then got trounced the next week by Michigan.
I wonder if Penn State over achieved last year or if the Notre Dame game was just a bad match up for them or they just got caught flat.
I'm thinking this might be a pretty bad week for Penn State.
Honestly I had a hard time with that game.
I'm pretty sure OHio State will win but I'm not 100% convinced that it will be close to what I predicted.
The key to Penn State is the offense. Last year they were able to move the ball and control the clock. They haven't been able to accomplish that so much this year.
It comes down to Anthony Morrelli. If he's effective, and he hasn't been yet this year, it will be a good game. If he isn't and he was only 11 for 27 against Youngstown St, it will be a very long day for Ohio State.
Penn State's first team defense is still one of the best out there, but they don't have the depth they did last year and what depth they do have is relatively inexperienced.
Sadly, that's my impression too.
