The skies could open up with rain
Ohio State hosting Penn State at Noon right here on WVAH Fox 11. Should be dry at Noon but rain develops in the second half with temps in the 40s. Pretty standard Ohio football weather in November. pic.twitter.com/h8tv3IY7db

Ohio State is still the better team on paper on this one. Some of the metrics and scores we’ve seen are things that haven’t happened in a long, long time not only in Columbus, but in college football in general.
But, the great equalizer can be Mother Nature.
The forecast — though improving — is still calling for rain to come into the equation sometime during the game. If that happens, I say advantage Penn State. If the Nittany Lions can hang around, then the skies open up, Justin Fields and the talented and deep receiving corps will have a hard time getting the upper hand when the game is on the line.
Minnesota and Indiana were able to do some damage through the air, and that seems to be the blueprint of success against a very, very good defense.
That could play right into a Nittany Lion defense built to stop the run.
