Penn State’s next opponent lost at home to FCS school from Pennsylvania

Penn State’s next opponent lost to an FCS school in Week 2 and visits Tennessee in Week 3.

It was not exactly a pretty afternoon for Penn State despite picking up a win over Bowling Green. But it was an even uglier afternoon for Penn State’s next opponent.

Penn State is heading into a bye week in Week 3 but will return to action in Week 4 with a home game against Kent State, another school from the MAC. The expectation is that game will be a bit easier for the Nittany Lions than the Week 2 matchup with Bowling Green. That is because the Golden Flashes fell to 0-2 on Saturday after losing at home to St. Francis, an FCS program from Loretto, Pennsylvania.

St. Francis recorded its first win in program history over an FBS school, the first in four tries for the program. St. Francis went just 4-6 in 2023 and has had just one winning season since 2017, so it is not exactly as if Kent State fell victim to one of the top-tier programs from the FCS ranks.

Kent State lost its season opener at Pitt and now will prepare for back-to-back road games at Tennessee in Week 3 and at Penn State in Week 4.

It should be a long couple of weeks for Kent State. Expect Penn State to be a massive favorite at home in two weeks.

Ohio State basketball gets back in win column at home against St. Francis PA

Back in the win column at home! #GoBucks

After a difficult stretch to the season schedule-wise, the Ohio State basketball team got back in the win column at home, using a big second half to pull away from St. Francis PA to win 96-59.

Ohio State used a good shooting night and balanced scoring to make it hard to guard consistently. Six players finished in double figures with Brice Sensabaugh leading the way with 15 points. Bruce Thorton (13), Roddy Gayle Jr. (12), Zed Key (11), Sean McNeil (10), and Felix Okpara (10), also chipped in ten points or more on a day when the team poured it in at a clip of 50.7% from the floor including a blazing 56.5% from beyond the arc.

The Red Flash actually hung in there during the first half, keeping the score in arm’s reach, often just under ten points, heading into the locker room at halftime down just eight.

The second half was a different story though as OSU used a 20-8 run midway through the last 20 minutes to pull away and dominate. Ohio State also dominated on the boards which resulted in ten more shots from the field. Felix Okpara had six rebounds to lead a 47-25 advantage on the glass. The Buckeyes also took care of the basketball, turning the ball over just seven times for the game.

With the win, Ohio State improves to 6-2 overall and will now prepare to play its first Big Ten contest of the season when it hosts Rutgers next Thursday.
