Ohio State Form

Ohio State head out on the road looking to build on last weekend’s win and improve their record to 7-1.

The Buckeyes opened the season with a string of one-sided wins, starting with a 52-6 victory over Akron.

They then shutout Western Michigan in a 56-0 win, before beating Marshall 49-14, Michigan State 38-7 and Iowa 35-7.

Ohio State’s perfect start was finally ended by a narrow 32-31 defeat when they visited Big Ten newcomers Oregon, but they bounced back immediately.

It was a grind, but the Buckeyes took their record to 6-1 with a 21-17 win over Nebraska last weekend.

Penn State Form

Penn State return home still boasting a perfect record, having registered their seventh win of the season last weekend.

The Nittany Lions opened up with a 34-12 win at West Virginia, before downing Bowling Green 34-27 in their home opener.

They then shut out Kent State in a 56-0 victory, before downing Illinois and UCLA at home, 21-7 and 27-11.

Penn State then went back out on the road after that and kept their perfect start going with a couple of wins.

The Nittany Lions won 33-30 when they visited USC, and they then followed that up with a 28-13 victory in Wisconsin.

Verdict

Penn State’s perfect record comes down to good complementary football.

Their run defense is stout and their own run game can have success against the Ohio State group, so we like the Nittany Lions with the points.
