I hope you're right Buckyle... I'm torn on this one.

One of the more underlying fears I have in this one is Trace and his propensity to simply be a winner. Down 21 to Wisconsin wasn't too much for him, making a last second throw to beat Iowa wasn't too big for him, and the guy just seems to play well when they need it.

We need JT to outplay Trace.

Went back to watch a quick 30min replay of the PSU/scUM game. I find it funny that O’Korn and the RB gashed them almost every time they took off on the ground, yet they refused to keep smashing in favor of trying to go through the air, which didn’t pay off at all.

O’Korn was getting time to get good looks, but still either took a sack from staying in the pocket too long or just flat out couldn’t find a receiver almost all night.

Penn State was struggling to stop them running the ball. Makes me feel good about Dobbins/Weber/JT racking up yards.

The fakes to Barkley with McSorley keeping it killed them all night as well on the other side of the ball. Barkley was bottled up pretty damn well after that first wildcat TD. McSorley must be pressured and contained or it will be a rough afternoon for the Bucks. The few times they were able to get after him resulted in him imploding.

I think we will be able to run the ball no doubt and like you pointed out Trace was killing scum because they kept attacking Saquon. I don't particularly think Ped runs that well at the linebacker position so horizontally I think we are going to have some plays out there to be honest.

It all goes through Trace but IMO everyone keeps trying to take away the wrong player.

Getting an oil change. First time in weeks I’ve had time to log on to BP.

Been angling for the job opportunity of a lifetime. I got it. Now I’m moving to Florida. It had to be this weekend. This will be the first game I miss in quite some time.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion here but I love the team embracing the whole Wolf vs Lion, Stark vs Lannister, Good vs Evil thing.

Fuck Penn State

If only Iowa and Wisconsin had the team speed to match the pedsters they have both won easily. Its about matchups...big plodding teams like Wisky and Iowa and even scUM in their current state lack the foot speed.
Last year our boys were up 20-7 until Beck and the right tackle happened. And they still out gained the cult by 200 yards.

Have faith in the Buckeyes...I truly feel a plunger coming.

Throwing out the 2011 loss under interim head coach Luke Fickell, the home games against the Pedsters this decade have been:

38-10 (2015)
63-14 (2013)
38-14 (2010)

In fact, that 2011 game was the only time Penn State has scored more than 14 points in The Shoe since joining the conference.

Really interested to see what the offensive game plan is for this one. Curious to see what the staff actually thinks the strengths of the offense are. Curious to see if we try to pound the run, or if the passing game actually is a threat and can be used as a primary weapon in a game against a good team.

Has anyone mentioned the weather?..... 100% chance of rain. Not sure how that works around the 3:30 kickoff but it's going to be damp somehow I bet

Last rain game I went to was the loss to MSU...... and I will be there for this game too. Hoping for a better outcome
