Gameday Back In Columbus

College GameDay visits Ohio State for a record-breaking 23rd time Since 1994. Rece Davis has comfortably brought his traveling team to Ohio Stadium 23 times, which is more than any other stadium in the nation. The Buckeyes also dominate the FBS in terms of GameDay appearances.

4-0 Undefeated Ryan Day

Once a closely contested rivalry following Penn State’s admission to the Big Ten in 1993 has turned into Buckeye savagery. Ohio State maintained a slim 5-4 advantage in the teams’ first nine annual meetings. Since taking over late in the 2018 campaign, Ohio State coach Ryan Day has maintained this domination, establishing a perfect 4-0 record versus the Nits and defeating his Happy Valley foes by at least two scores each time.

Going into this game, Penn State’s defense is perhaps the best in the nation. The Nittany Lions are leading the nation in nearly every category, pass defense (121.2), completion percentage (49.1), first downs allowed (67), and sacks per game (4.5). They are allowing only 193.7 total yards and 8.0 points per game this year. They will be competing against an Ohio State offense that has significant running back injury worries.

On the other hand, One of the most complete rosters in all of college football belongs to Ohio State. Kyle McCord, a junior quarterback who replaced C.J. Stroud, has performed admirably. McCord has 1,651 yards, 11 touchdown passes, and one interception on a 64.1% completion rate.

The Spread: Ohio State -4.5

The upcoming matchup with Penn State, however, is expected to be Ohio State’s toughest test. The line for this game should end with OSU’s second-closest predicted margin of victory this season.
