The Ohio State vs. Penn State Game Prediction!
The Pick: Ohio State Buckeyes -2.5
I'm going with Ohio State on this one. I'm not too keen on the uncertainty surrounding Penn State's quarterback situation. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Will Howard, I believe he has enough experience to guide Ohio State to victory on the road. James Franklin hasn't had the best track record in these important games as the head coach of Penn State, so I think the Buckeyes will come out on top. My pick is Ohio State.
As a Penn State alumni and lifelong fan, this hurts me but I actually agree with your pick. Until Franklin can win one of these big games, you have to go with the Buckeyes.
