Game Thread Penn State at tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

[TampaBuckeyes]

Hey, I'm happy that Knowles is at PSU. If he disgorges all the he did here, and the PSU offense is waiting to see which set-up tOSU shows them, then we'll be fine. Patricia has tweaked tOSU D in such a way, that everything appears to be disguised. Showing a 8 man blitz, only to have some of the guys drop into coverage, isn't somethng Knowles installed (was it?). Anyway, PSU is a different team without Drew Allar, with the 8+ years he's been the starter, they're putting a sophomore into the fray. Also from Ohio, I believe....but yeah, agree with the above, in that PSU willl use this as a 'big get even' with all those very humbling losses. Damage is done, coach is gone, but never forget, PSU has alot of pride, and will come out guns ablazing. In my heart, believe the game will be more along the lines of tOSU v Texas, rather than Wiscy, Washington, etc. Stay stout, boys, and weather the storm, and do what you do, and all will be well.

Buckeyes should come out fast, which we haven't done frequently enough this season. Ryan Day is outstanding after a Bye so far at OSU, never lost.

Losing this game would be a catastrophic result and I dint think anyone is even leaning that way. Conversely it feels like a serious blowout coming. The QB play with Allar would consistently give us a big mistake which is now maybe a question. Stopping their 2 headed monster running attack is obviously the key. Can the PSU Defense handle the Buckeyes Offense at all, is what I'm going to be looking at this week before I chime in with an angle on the point spread or gambling point of view. The Bucks have been way more consistent an investment than the stock market this season I can tell you that!

Agreed, except I wouldn't call them a "2-headed monster". They're good, not great.
