You kids stay off my lawn!
The game is in Champagne. You can count on wind being a factor, maybe with rain thrown in. Happy that it’s still in the first half of October before the weather gets really shitty. That leaves Penn State here. From the little I’ve watched, drew Allen still looks like Drew Allen, and Big Game Franklin still looks like Big Game Franklin.

I’ll be honest I think we’ll have a tougher time with Washington and Illinois compared to Penn State.

No doubt. I just don’t think Penn State is as good as they were on defense. Then all those transfer WRs aren’t the answer either.

Plus, we play PSU at home. Home field advantage will be similar to when we played TX at home. I hope that you are right.

Probably won’t be lol.. it’s always a good game with PSU it seems like.
But anyone really think Ryan day is going to sit around and let Jim Knowles win? Hell no.

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport
The Buckeyes had this prospect playing a completely different sport when he was on campus.

Ohio State football team had future NFL Draft prospect playing the wrong sport
The Buckeyes had this prospect playing a completely different sport when he was on campus.
No other program has as many defensive prospects that will be drafted in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft as the Ohio State football program. They will likely have four players drafted in the first round. There's an outside chance that side of the ball sees six players drafted that high.
The Buckeyes were one of the best teams in the country this past season. They started the season 12-0 before falling apart in the final two weeks. Oklahoma made the 12-team College Football Playoff for the first time. Owen Heinecke was a key member of the Sooners' defense.
Heinecke started his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes, but he wasn't on the football team. In fact, he played lacrosse with the Buckeyes for one season before transferring to Oklahoma to be a preferred walk-on. Heinecke let everyone know how close he was to playing football for the Buckeyes.
Owen Heinecke asked about joining the Ohio State football program
Heinecke explained the process of going through his time at Ohio State and whether or not he thought about playing football for the Buckeyes."I did. Unfortunately, they were taking my lacrosse scholarship because I was stepping away from lacrosse, and out-of-state tuition was just a little bit too much for me and my family."
Instead, Heinecke ended up transferring back home to Oklahoma to play football. He only entered the draft because the NCAA denied his waiver to play an additional year with the Sooners. They deemed the year he played lacrosse counted as a year of eligibility.
Now, Heinecke will try to get drafted out of Oklahoma. Had he played football for the Buckeyes, it would have been hard for him to see the field. Both Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are going to be first-round picks, so it would have been hard for him to play snaps ahead of either player.
Heinecke only started one year in his collegiate career, totaling 74 tackles, three sacks, and a forced fumble in 2025.
