Five things we learned about Ohio State football in the win over Penn State

Ohio State went on the road to Penn State and won rather convincingly. Here are five things we learned during the big win.

Ohio State is still Ohio State

We’ve picked on a couple of warts we’ve seen so far in 2020, but the reality is that this team is a balanced monster that still came out on Halloween night. It has a Heisman front-runner slinging the ball around, an elite offensive line, an embarrassment of riches when it comes to playmakers on the outside, and a defensive line that looks to be great once again.

This game felt like it was more of a mismatch than what the score indicated, and that’s a testament to how dominant Ohio State is, even when it doesn’t put a full game together. And yeah, despite two multiple score wins so far on the year, this team can definitely play better.

But the bottom line is that the Buckeyes could be rolling along to another run to a Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff appearance. Right now, it sure looks like this team is ready to contend for a national title if everyone stays healthy.
