Look at what these other teams in the top 10 that lost to unranked teams. It's never a given, but this is and impressive run notwithstanding who they played. And don't look now, but JT is leading QBs in passing TDs with only 1 INT. And don't talk about competition because Lamar Jackson got most of his stats last year vs poor teams. If he can have a Heisman moment vs PSU, he'll be a top contender. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's just recent memory bias. Prior to 2014 Ohio Stadium didn't have permanent lights installed, so night games were rare. I think 2013 was the first time they had two home night games in a single season. Penn State has played at night in Ohio Stadium three times: 2008, 2013, and 2015. 2017 will be the first time since the permanent lights have been installed in the Shoe that Penn State has NOT played at night. So to answer your question, I don't think it's a trend. It's actually a first since the permanent lights have been installed.

I recall Zeke having 12 carries the entire f-ing game, Barrett had more carries. It was raining like crazy, high winds and Beck was calling plays like it was a clear sunny day. I could not believe we had to put with that guy for another year after that game. You NEVER heard Zeke say a bad word about anyone or anything up until that game. I thought it was a clear case of bad offensive coaching that cost us that game. And, lastly, I was in shock when Tom Herman hired Tim Beck. I don't get it, I honestly still can't believe it.

I hope they enjoy that defensive line. Not for nothing, but according to the NCAA, TTUN does have a higher Total Defensive Ranking to date than tOSU, 5th to 16th respectively. What those rankings don't show is that tOSU has a better Red Zone Defense than TTUN (6th vs 65th), so scoring opportunities in the Red Zone may be limited. The Rushing Defense is very similar in ranking, with tOSU allowing fewer Rushing TDs and Avg Yds/Rush. tOSU also wins the Turnover Margin with TTUN (+7 vs -3) Overall in Defensive Statistics, on paper the two teams may look similar, or even favorable to TTUN....until you look at where those numbers come from... TTUN Schedule: Florida, Cincinnati, Air Force, Purdue, Michigan St, Indiana, Penn State tOSU Schedule: Indiana, Oklahoma, Army, UNLV, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska The lone Top 10 Game from tOSU's schedule plays a huge mark in their defensive statistics. Switch that out with Florida and we'd have much favorable stats. Now I'm not saying that we don't deserve the ranking we have right now. We all know the defense wasn't clicking earlier this year, specifically the secondary. But the DLine is clicking on all cylinders right now, along with the LB corp. The DBs are starting to turn their heads around looking for balls and avoiding those costly penalties. Things are moving in the right direction. As much as I hate to quote Cowherd, "OSU just looks different than other college teams. They are bigger, stronger, and faster than other teams. The defensive line consists of all NFL caliber players. They are that good." That was from his radio show yesterday. It stood out in my mind as he is typically very anti-OSU. Yet he picked them to win it all this year. tOSU's offense took awhile to develop and find itself. The defense took some time to gel. That's what the early part of the season is for, to work out the kinks before the big games begin. We're at the start of the "big game" schedule for tOSU. How they play on Saturday will define this team. I think they know that, and I think they will come out with a statement game. I'm not saying it will be a blow out, as I think Penn State will keep it close (within 10pts). But there will be hard hits, and those points scored will be earned - by both teams. This game will define the defense and showcase just what the offense is capable of doing under Wilson. It's a new look team, so throw out what you think you know about tOSU from the first 7 games. That was pre-season in CFB. The real season starts on Saturday. O - H 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Screen printed in the cheaper, embroidered in the expensive. It will go nicely with a scarlet long sleeve shirt this year. Man, I have too many Ohio State shirts.

Just another quick comparison to what I posted above for tOSU, this time with Penn State #s: Total Defense: 9th Red Zone Defense: 8th Rushing Defense: 17th Turnover Margin: 2nd By no means should tOSU take this game lightly. Penn State has a good defense and is clicking as well. With that said, a look at their schedule shows a similar hole as TTUN: Penn State: Akron, Pittsburgh, Georgia State, Iowa, Indiana, Northwestern, Michigan The common game between all 3 teams (tOSU, PSU, MI) is Indiana. The scores between tOSU/IND and PSU/IND is very similar (49-21 away vs 45-14 at home, respectively). The game on Saturday can easily determine the winner of the B16 East. Michigan State will want their say in it, but I don't think they're on the same level as tOSU and PSU. I think a defensive slobber knocker with a couple of big offensive plays is going to define this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bobcat10 1,978 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 For the game in AA this year, they're wearing all white uniforms that honor the '54 champs. Those should be slick, too. I know we're biased, but different combos of scarlet, gray, black and white combos all looks pretty awesome together. Not much looks better, if anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
