What time is it?
Woke up this morning thinking it was Tuesday so I took my son to the Library for kid story time only to find out it is Wednesday. Mildly confused, I read him some books then came home. Then I log in here and see that there is a 330 blackout at the Shoe on Saturday? Now I'm full confusion mode and still skeptical that it is indeed Wednesday. Should have called it Eclipse the Shoe or something. Or just had a normal game for everyone with normal uniforms and no special dress up while we destroy St Penn. Blackout?!?!... Is it really Wednesday? What is going on?????

NEW GRAY JERSEYS ADD “SWAGGER” TO OHIO STATE'S MATCHUP WITH PENN STATE
Ohio State's new gray uniforms have taken the Buckeye football landscape by storm ever since Eleven Warriors first broke the news more than a week ago.
After the team released the new duds in their entirety yesterday, the Ohio State fan base appears to be warming up to the gray uniforms, as are the players.
Speaking for the first time since the athletic department released the new look, Jerome Baker said Tuesday that the jerseys bring an added excitement to an already big game.
"I love ‘em. I love wearing new jerseys. I love the LeBrons. Those are my favorite cleats ever," Baker, a Cleveland native, said. "I am excited to wear them, especially against Penn State. It adds a bit more swagger to you."

OHIO STATE DEFENSE SEES SIMILARITIES IN PENN STATE AND OKLAHOMA OFFENSES, BUT EXPECTS TO BE PREPARED THIS TIME
From the standpoint of moving forward with its season, it’s long been past time for Ohio State to move on from its loss to Oklahoma.
The No. 6 Buckeyes (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten) are no longer harping on their loss from six games ago, instead looking forward to their even bigger and more consequential game this Saturday against No. 2 Penn State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten).
From a game preparation standpoint, however, there is still reason for Ohio State to go back and look at its film from the loss to Oklahoma, as there might be still be things the Buckeyes can learn from that film to apply to playing better in games going forward.
That’s especially true this week for the Buckeyes defense, as they face a Penn State offense that is similar to Oklahoma’s offense in numerous ways.
"Me personally, I love doing that," Ohio State linebacker Jerome Baker said of watching film from the Oklahoma loss. "It’s funny how football works. It kind of repeats itself a lot. So if you don’t look at what you made a mistake on, it’s going to happen again. So I always go back and look at the losses, what teams really did well against us."

OHIO STATE'S DEFENSE PREPARING FOR ULTRA ATHLETIC PENN STATE TIGHT END MIKE GESICKI
Ohio State allowed its fair share of plays over the middle in a 31-16 loss to Oklahoma earlier this season, many of which came on run-pass option plays.
More than a month later, the Buckeyes are preparing for a similar offense from Penn State. The Nittany Lions have a number of offensive weapons that benefit from their RPO offense, but perhaps none more in the passing game than tight end Mike Gesicki.
Through seven games this season, Gesicki has reeled in 24 passes for 228 yards and four scores, which is tied for the team lead. A former standout volleyball player, Gesicki's ability to go up and high-point a football is almost unmatched in college football. Ohio State defensive coordinator and former Penn State assistant Greg Schiano said Tuesday that in order to slow Gesicki down, the Buckeyes will have to guard him with multiple people.
"He makes catches that men (who play) inside usually can't make," Schiano said. "We just have to have different ways to try and get people on him because he has the skill set of a wide receiver."

OHIO STATE RESPECTING THE CHALLENGE OF DEFENDING PENN STATE RUNNING BACK SAQUON BARKLEY
The special talent of Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is not being overlooked by Ohio State.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Monday that Barkley, who leads the Football Bowl Subdivision with 211.1 all-purpose yards per game, might be the best all-purpose running back he has faced in his entire coaching career.
"He's as good an all-purpose running back as we've seen," Meyer said Monday. "And that's 30 years."
Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano issued a similar sentiment on Tuesday, describing Penn State’s 5-foot-11, 230-pound running back – who leads the Big Ten with 12 touchdowns scored in seven games – as "a once-in-10-year guy."
"He’s that good," Schiano said. "Incredible ability to change direction on a dime. And it’s not a little guy that’s changing direction. Sometimes you see little scat backs at 175 pounds that can stop on a dime and change direction. This is a big man doing it, so you’re not going to arm-tackle this guy. When he changes direction, he goes from zero to 60, he’s something."
Ohio State linebacker Jerome Baker says Barkley, who is Penn State’s leader in rushing yards, kickoff returns and receptions, "can do it all."
"He can block, he can run, he can jump over you," Baker said.

Head Coach
The huge difference that no one seems to acknowledge between OU and Ped is two things.
1) OU has the best freaking offensive line in the country
2) Mayfield is more even and it's harder to disrupt him then you can Trace. Teams have shown that you can affect Trace if you get after him but with Baker it always wasn't that easy due to his accuracy.
Get after this offensive line and get after Trace will really go a long ways in terms of winning.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
An afternoon black out, and 50 shades of gray uniforms.
Come on, we're Ohio fucking State. Act like it.
Our own A.D. was reportedly the one who pushed the gray uniforms through, when there was a hang-up.
