Penn State visits Ohio State on Saturday in the season’s first meeting of Big Ten heavyweights.
The past seven weeks have reinforced what was fairly clear back in August. Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State were going to be the class of the league in some order. And sure enough, they’re a combined 19-0 and own the top three scoring defenses in the country .The path to a Big Ten title can be boiled down to four games. Penn State visits Ohio State on Saturday. The Nittany Lions welcome Michigan to Happy Valley on Nov. 11. The Wolverines get the Buckeyes in the Big House on Nov.
Meanwhile, Ohio State hasn’t bulldozed opponents in quite the same way the Nittany Lions have. It had a forgettable opener against Indiana andOhio State is a different level of opponent than Penn State has faced to date. The Nittany Lions are more likely to punish the Buckeyes for their game-to-game and even quarter-to-quarter inconsistency than any foe they’ve encountered this fall.
Then quarterback Payton Thorne and wide receiver Keon Coleman transferred after spring practice. After a 2-0 start, coach Mel Tucker was suspendedafter an investigation into accusations of sexual harassment. Michigan State managed 32 points while losing its next three games, then wasted an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter while losing, 27-24, at Rutgers this past week.And now for a little more sobering news: Michigan , Ohio State and Penn State are still to come.
The Rebels have scored 40 points in each of their victories , and they’re ninth in the country in rushing at 221.5 yards a game. It’s a balanced backfield, with four backs amassing 170 yards to date and none with more than Pitt transfer Vincent Davis’s 327.
