TCU has a good defense, and other than a big play in the beginning has contained Ohio State. Funny how you don't look like a juggernaut when you play a team with a pulse. In all seriousness, OSUs offense will probably wake up a bit, but I think TCU is showing when you can limit OSU's rushing attack their passing game will also suffer. Haskins has feasted on play action this year.

As for their defense... The front 4 for Ohio State are REALLY good, but the back 7 look very suspect. If you can protect your QB, you should be able to move the ball against OSU.

Man I hope TCU knocks off ohio st. I want chaos for the scam playoffs committee because I still believe it’s very possible for the big 10 champ to have 2 losses.

Ohio State is a good team. Today was an impressive victory for them. PSU has it’s hands full.

Actually I think Ohio State will have their hands full...If Penn State can stay healthy after this weeks game with Illinois and not lose anybody they are gonna give Ohio State all they can handle...2 things are working in PSU's favor...The first is at QB...Penn State has the best QB in the country and a seasoned vet who has played in many of these big games...Ohio State has a rookie QB who has NEVER played a game under the conditions he is going to face...Most times the veteran QB wins these matchups...The second is going to be the environment Ohio State is going to face...2 years ago they marched into the Beav a HEAVY favorite and got their ears knocked off...In that ballgame Ohio State had the talent advantage by a wide margin and most folks were wondering if PSU could even keep the game close and I will admit I was one of them...Not this year...The talent gap is non existent and I might argue that Penn State may have more speed than Ohio State...The key to this ballgame from a Penn State perspective is can these young kids mature enough and improve enough as a unit to eliminate the stupid penalties and careless mistakes...As far as talent, speed or athleticism Ohio State no longer has the huge advantage on Penn State that it enjoyed in the past...These are even from a talent perspective so now it comes down to experience at the QB position and game environment...Penn State beat them 2 years ago and I think they most certainly can beat them this year...Lets worry about Illinois first and see how much they improve Friday night...
