No Big Ten team has tested Ohio State in recent years like Penn State, though the Nittany Lions haven’t actually beaten the Buckeyes since 2016. 18 Penn State The Nittany Lions lost to Indiana and they also lost another tailback from what was supposed to be a deep group, but hidden in all the mistakes last week against the Hoosiers was a really good defensive performance. It could be a path to victory for the Penn State because the Buckeyes’ running game was less-than-awesome last week in a blowout against Nebraska.
