It’s still a bit odd that the Big Ten didn’t designate Penn State as one of [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag]’s protected opponents, but it just means their matchups will bring that much more hype.
The two teams typically make a big deal out of their games, the Nittany Lions hosting multiple “White Outs” when the Buckeyes visit Happy Valley. This fall Ohio State is returning the favor, announcing that it will have a “Scarlet the Shoe” when Penn State comes to Columbus.
The Buckeyes will host the Nittany Lions this fall, then won’t see them until the 2026 season, so this game will mean just a bit more in terms of bragging rights.
Ohio State announces that the Oct. 21 games against Penn State will be a Scarlet the ’Shoe game, in addition to other themes for the 2023 season.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of the all scarlet jersey’s, but one thing I’d like for the team to use isn’t of our classic gray helmets, go with the black ones. The all-scarlet just works a bit better in my opinion.

What helmet do you think would work best with this combo?
