On the positive side, one of those two SEC teams is going to lose the CCG. Not sure about Wiscy. They had to play without their fullback and their 1 and 2 RBs, and in the wind tunnel that is Memorial Stadium. Still, I would not be surpised if Michigan beat them in Madison. History. There's nothing on the West Coast. The Big 12 will likely be decided this weekend, cause Iowa State aint beating anyone in a CCG in Dallas.

But Notre Dame will get all the TV votes - and maybe they deserve it, a one point loss to undefeated Georgia in their home opener, total blowouts of USC and a decent NCSU. Their only remaining test will be on the road to a Stanford team that was pounded by USC and struggled against Oregon State. Count on no one in the media north of the Mason - Dixon line to question ND's bonafides for fear of backlash.

Yeah, if Whisky goes to the Big Ten Championship and loses to the Bucks, it won’t matter. I will personally guarantee that the Buckeyes are a lock if they win out. If they lose from here on out, they’re out of the CFP convo.

Honestly, all the CFP talk is business as usual. Bama plays GA, Bucks play the Badgers. Win and in.

Regardless, all I’m thinking about is this huge win, JT Barrett silencing the doubters, and beating Iowa in a tough environment on the road next Saturday. The rest will sort itself out if Ohio State takes care of business.

I thought we could have an advantage on both sides of the ball and that's how it played out........
eventually! After much insanity. And frustration.
Now if we can clean up our not so "special teams" we will be just killing people.
I believe we have the kids and coaching to do that.
Next week will be a challenge, though. Big emotional come down.

Penn State offense accounted for 17 points when they had to drive the full field

2nd Q: 7 plays 81 yards TD by Barkley
3rd Q:10 plays 70 yards TD pass to Thompkins*
4th Q: 10 plays 64 yards FG

They had 21 points from KO returns and TO's

As a team they had less than 300 yards of total offense, Barkley ran for less than 100 and averaged 2.1 ypc

Looking at the stats, again just like last year, it's hard to believe Penn State was in the game.

OSU only punted 3 times this year

Combined the past two years ;
Penn State completed 25 passes
Barkley has 143 net rushing yards
Their offense accumulated 559 total yards (OSU had 529 in 2017 alone)
Their offense had 30 first downs (OSU had 27 in 2017 alone)

You can just keep going, it's surreal

BUT at the end of the day, their best accumulation of talent in decades needed all of that flukeiness to stay close and go 1-1. Next year we get to see how well they play the reload game with OSU.
