How It’ll All Go Down
This game scares me a little because of how hard Penn State plays, the pressure the guards put on you both offensively and defensively, and the fact that Ohio State hasn’t had anything near a let-down game for quite some time. This kind of feels like that. I expect the Nittany Lions to come out with a lot of effort and emotion, wanting to make a big statement. Look for Ohio State to be down early, but slowly find its way back and pull out a close one because of the mental toughness and talent this team possesses.
Final Score
