2 ways this can go, showing us that Michigan was an aberration or that we really are very far away from being elite.
Hoping it shows that Michigan was just a down game, and I do believe that we match up against Ohio state better than we match up against Michigan.
Hope you're right about match ups & the aberration. I think playing at home will be a big help. Especially if the crowd comes through as if it were a white out!
It’s a little of both, Michigan is good but we made ‘em look better than they are because we just didn’t play good at all. IMO to beat us you have to have a dominating DL and Michigan is pretty good and so is Ohio St. it’s not that the other teams are bad it just take a dominatingDL to beat us which 90% of the team out there don’t have. Besides the top 4 teams we’re as good as anybody, probably better.
Home field advantage always a big plus. Vegas adds 3 points for home field. Having a "tunnel fighter" and "instigator" on your team helps.
Looking forward to the game. Speculation is fun but discussing the results is definitive.
Not going to be easy for OSU in a white out game. I would rotate Clifford and Allard in at QB.
Roam approves of this message.
@forum-titan I just got to say, stop obsessing. It's not a good look, just move on my man... you will be happier.
I heard this story referring to a trump supporter but it works just as well with the forum-titanic. Arguing with forum-titanic is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon will just knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around acting like it won.
White out? It's supposed to snow in Happy Valley this weekend?
@southern-psu-fan You are not forum-titanic southern.
Or, as Mark Twain said, "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
James is 2-13 against ranked teams. Woof.

At Penn State, Franklin is 2-9 vs. top ten teams, and 9-6 vs. other ranked teams. In total, at PSU he's 11-15 vs. all ranked teams.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them come out and attack/test our secondary right away since they have the receivers to do it and if they connect look out because the game will get ugly quick. Even if they don't connect I don't see our offense being able to score enough points to keep up.
OSU by 20+

It can get ugly for OSU too. Hence, recall the blocked kick.
Well, here is the good thing! He is 1-0 (at home) against a #2 ranked Ohio State team. Let's hope he keeps his streak going!!!!!!!!!!
I am predicting a Penn State upset tomorrow....yes, UPSET! I am still retired from predicting scores, but I am 1-0 under my win prediction, so hopefully I can MY streak going as well!!! LOl
Honestly, I have no clue what is going to happen tomorrow. I feel Penn State is the best team - so far - Ohio State has faced this year. The fact that Penn State now has a loss could take some pressure of them tomorrow. I just hope Penn State let's it all hang out and plays to win. If they (JF) try to get too methodical tomorrow, they will get destroyed! They just need to play their game, take some chances and they could hang tight!
GO STATE!!!!!!!!!

You're about 0-10 on your predictions. But hey, I like your enthusiasm. It's very possible for the upset. No other team plays em like Penn state. The have not played a team like Penn state this year. Diaz might get tricky for them. I'm hoping to be done tomorrow just in time for the game. Might have to listen to 1st quarter on the radio 📻.
Ohio State has better players. They also have better coaches. But PSU can win.
The silence on this forum and lack of victorious predictions really is a sad testament of what we’ve become.
Absolutely, Southern. Tomorrow just may be what the doctor ordered for our team! As always, time will be the great teller.
@southern-psu-fan a Big win is desperately needed. From where I sat last week it was obvious at the beginning that most of the crowd was ready to turn on JF.
We are not elite, I figure we are 10-15. OSU is, they are 1-5. Do 1 to 5 teams lose to 10 to 15 teams? Sure do. 10% of the time? It is a home game, we have the Super Sr QB that was offensive player of the week last week. IF we get them on the ropes we better keep the pedal down this time. Not like the PSU coaches at VT last night 😎
This is another game that may show the boys what it takes to be world class. Hopefully they get to work in the off season. Only so much you can do now....play your heart out.
