It's going to be a great game but why isn't this slotted for prime time?

I think it'll be close but OSU wins by a touchdown. Home field will help too.

No. If it was I'd be too busy playing with my tits to post in this thread.

I have a feeling the game won't be as close as it might seem on paper, yet I can't decide who I think will win.

OSU is 6.5 pt favorite. They should win, home game coming off a bye week. PSU just had a big game last week against Mich.

It is basically an elimination game for OSU.

PSU by 16.

It'll be raining during the game. This will favor the team that is more efficient running the ball. That would be Ohio State.

Penn State gets Barkley out in space to catch balls, but Ohio State has had past success containing him if he runs between the tackles.

It's also an elimination game for Penn State. A loss here will put them squarely in 2nd place in division with a L in head-to-head with Ohio State.

Let me put it this way, people who are calling for a multi-TD Penn State win is just blinded by their hate for OSU.

Urban Meyer has never lost a revenge game. He's never lost coming out of a bye week. Penn State's win last year against Ohio State came on an (now) illegal blocked FG and a pass interference non-call. Statistically, they were outplayed in every OSU game since James Franklin was the coach.

The talent gap between Penn State and Ohio State is still wide. Penn State is over dependent on Barkley and the TE. McSorley had the best game of his career last week. It'll be insane to think he will keep it going when this year, he's the shakiest cog in the offense.

I expect Ohio State to win decisively. I was going to call for a multi-TD win, but the rain will slow down the game and limit possessions.

I hate them both so that's probably why I can't decide who I think will win. I somehow still think it won't be that close of a game, yet can't decide which team I think will win.

The state of FSU football is:
1. Terrible

Yep. Looks like no bowl game this year - no way they win out. Problems run deeper than just losing starting QB. I wonder if this is the year Jimbo exits for LSU or whatever other big job comes up.

It goes much deeper than our multiple starters out. As of now, it's Jimbo's team. He needs to make it right. The players aren't believing in their coaches. Idk what restructuring they plan to do exactly but our coordinators need to be reevaluated. These kids bring so much talent to the table, and it's not being utilized in the slightest bit.

AAAnnndddd they just scored again.
14-0 with 11 minutes left in the first...

Flying Ace · 10-28-2017, 06:02 PM

I'm not the type that complains about refs, but this officiating in the Ohio State game is atrocious.

1MOREMOD · 10-28-2017, 06:09 PM

Yeah little wonky

mookie45 · 10-28-2017, 06:41 PM

Great game so far! It's going to come down to the last play

RickFLM4 · 10-28-2017, 06:51 PM

Penn State's kicker is only 7/14 on FGs for the season? That seems like it should eventually be a problem for them.

insanecoder · 10-28-2017, 07:04 PM

I just dont understand PSU
seen enuf football to know when you start playing safe yer done
4th qtr 5 minute mark PSU plays prevent defense
allows OSU to warm up and get hot
then run-plays deep in PSU territory
hope this ends well
too damn conservative all of a sudden
