Ohio State-Penn State Results: The Buckeyes Win It With A Perfect Game

Some quick statistics after a breathtaking end:

• Total yards: PSU 492, OSU 389
• Yards per piece: PSU 6.5, OSU 5.1
• First steps: PSU 22, OSU 21
• PSU Trace McSorley: 16 passes for 32 assists for 286 yards, two touchdowns; 21 non-bags for 193 yards
• Dwayne Haskins of UOS: 22 passes in 39 attempts for 270 yards, three touchdowns and one interception
• PSU Miles Sanders: 16 carries for 43 yards and one touchdown, two assists for two yards
• JK Dobbins and OSU Mike Weber: 26 carries for 108 yards, three passes for 66 yards and one touchdown

Penn State controlled the entire game, beating the 103-yard Buckeyes and making them almost ineffective until the last two records. But with the match on the line, the Buckeyes looked at a brilliant receiving body and blocked it perfectly, and PSU called an RPO in fourth and fifth place.

0:00

Ohio State puts the game on its knees, and that's it. OSU 27, PSU 26.

1:16

A year ago, Penn State had dug a double-digit advance in the fourth quarter and Trace McSorley could not save the situation. He has a second chance.

• First and Ten PSU 25: McSorley finds Freiermuth for 27 yards.
• First and tenth of the OSU 48: Young drops McSorley for a loss of four, almost grab the mask but avoid it.
• Second and Fourteenth of PSU 48: McSorley goes deep to Polk, who can not win.
• 14th and 14th of USP 48: McSorley gains nine yards on a goalkeeper and the PSU's call expires at 1:22. Then the OSU calls expire. So what Penn State Calls Another Waiting Time. Sheesh. Both teams have a left.
• Fourth and fifth of the OSU 43: WHAT? Transfer from the RPO to Sanders, and he gets stuffed. After all that, they do it … that. A call to play massively disappointing, and Ohio State will win. OSU 27, PSU 26.

2:03

LANDING. Another perfect Ohio State screen. Penn State does not get into an over-the-top blitz, but Dobbins' screen is so secure that he still wins 35 yards.

Then Dobbins makes his way to the middle for seven yards. In two games, OSU is almost in the middle of the field. Haskins fails to stand out between receivers, but in third and third place, Weber rushes to the right for a total of 11 yards against the PSU 43. Campbell takes a screen and gets another 14 yards. The OSU inside the 30, and the PSU seems gassed.

The Haskins can not hit Campbell on a crossover route, and then Dobbins earns five yards. It's the third and fifth time that the clock runs to two minutes, and Haskins quickly shoots Hill on the right sideline. He takes a big block, misses a guy and beats 24 yards to score the goal. Eight games, 96 yards. Damn.

The two-point conversion is a disaster: Ohio State calls a waiting time after a penalty period of play, then launches an incomplete pass. Still, the Buckeyes looked dead in the water, then led 171 yards and scored twice in 11 games to take the lead. Pity. OSU 27, PSU 26.

4:35

The state of Ohio is still not observing McSorley. He sends everyone deep and accumulates 13 yards, or 18 yards without a sack for 174 yards, and OSU's Dre'Mont Jones gets out of the field. Another McSorley forward wins nothing but spends another 15 yards on a mask penalty. First at OSU 42.

For the chinstrap, McSorley is penalized for an illegal forward pass and is again nine yards on 37. In third and sixth place, McSorley avoids the pressure, but can not communicate with Hippenhammer. Still not at the end of the field, PSU is late in the game penalty and sends Gillikin, whose shooting shot is shot in the 4th. PSU 26, OSU 21.

6:42

LANDING. After a few short passes, Haskins approaches Austin Mack and inflicts a penalty for pass interference. And then Victor makes a ridiculous to play. Haskins shoots him, but he shoots him, shakes his defender, then passes through five other defenders for a 47-yard score.

Sensational. This game is really not finished. PSU 26, OSU 21.

8:00

LANDING. McSorley starts the game with a good game, rushing into the pocket as he will fight again and hit Hippenhammer for 21 yards against the Buckeye 31. McSorley loses one on a goalkeeper and then sends a ball to Johnson on the line. left key. He can not enough reel it in, though. On the third and eleventh, with power blocks not yet included in the field goals, it is another QB plot, and it works. The left side opens and he runs behind Johnson on the perimeter for 19 at OSU 13. Now they are in the range of goals.

No matter the goal on the field. McSorley explodes once more in the center and crosses a tackle roughly at the line of a foot. This is a touchdown but remembered after replay. But no worries: Sanders rushes a crowd of blockers into the final zone at the next game.

What physical drive Nittany Lions (especially McSorley). The two-point conversion attempt fails, but the PSUs are up 12. PSU 26, OSU 14.

10:18

With the super strong crowd still, Ohio State quietly soothes them with an 18-meter lap around Campbell. Two Dobbins have a gain of only four yards, and a pass to Campbell on the center wins 5.5 yards. In fourth and fifth place in the PSU 48, Penn State detonates the two Dobbins (who do not receive the ball) and Haskins (who does). Low turnover rate. Huge stop PSU 20, OSU 14.

12:22

Another McSorley race wins 10 yards to start the course. He has 111 yards on the floor tonight, 120 without a sack – and then Sanders is taken for two yards. He spent a much less impressive night. Borland ransacked McSorley, and like that, it's third and long. But McSorley buys just enough time to throw a ball in an open field of Hamler. The rookie reels in the ball for a gain of 36 yards and then takes a bad Isaiah Pryor hit from shoulder to helmet in a defenseless position. He seems to be knocked out and Hamler is deported to target him. Penn State is at OSU 15, but Hamler did for the night.

This time, Penn State ends. An average of McSorley gains 13 yards, then he lobbles into the end zone to Freiermuth, another freshman, who intercepts the passes and still has goals and reels in the touchdown. The Nittany Lions choose not to go for 2, but they are fit again. PSU 20, OSU 14.

2:44 p.m.

Stop me if you've heard this before: the Buckeyes can not convert to third and third, and Chrisman leaps forward. Penn State will start at age 27, still down. OSU 14, PSU 13.

0:00

After an incomplete deep ball and a one-yard defeat for Weber, the third quarter ends with OSU against a third and eleven of his 23. OSU 14, PSU 13.

0:38

A good offensive game for Penn State! McSorley wins a draw for 23 yards inside OSU 39, and the Nittany Lions have their first opportunity to score in a while. After a short first lap of McSorley, the Nittany Lions are expected to take second and 19th place. But Ohio State is doing the same, Isaiah Pryor being called for a really hot to pass the trouble of interference when trying to bomb Hamler. First at 33.

Once again, the Nittany Lions stop with the goal line in sight. Ohio State blitzed McSorley and forced a quick pass from McSorley, but he pulled a pretty good pass to Polk, who dropped him. Werner connects Sanders for a three-yard loss on a screen pass, but the third and 13th, Sanders wins 12.

OSU's fourth and-1 24, and PSU becomes sophisticated. McSorley pretends to be a helping hand and quickly launches into an open Freiermuth … only, Chase Young leaps to block the pass. Low turnover rate. OSU 14, PSU 13.

3:27

The crowd is alive again. Dobbins is stopped for four yards, then Robert Windsor rushes Haskins in a reversal. On the third try, Haskins is hit as he throws Hill, who only wins two yards. Three points or more for OSU. Thompkins can not do anything with the Chrisman boot, and the Nittany Lions will start at age 38. OSU 14, PSU 13.

4:39

McSorley is still looking for Hamler on these slopes. He shoots at no. 1 in the first run, then Sanders moves to the left for five meters to set up a third and a half manageable. It turns out that it is unmanageable. McSorley is doing well and seems to win the first match easily, but Malik Harrison pursues him for a gain of one meter.

Another 3-out for PSU, and the defense does not rest much. But Gillikin is at least a leap forward and it's just at OSU 10. OSU 14, PSU 13.

6:12

Weber hits a 13-yard path into the PSU territory, then a Haskins-to-Campbell pass wins 12. He is quickly third and sixth, but the PSU's total pressure is flipping back again as a screen to Hill gains 11 yards to PSU 16.

The Nittany Lions stiffen from there. Hill loses four yards, OSU makes a false start, and Weber wins eight for third and eleven, where Haskins plays too long for Hill. Sean Nuernberger's 33-yard effort is good, but the Buckeyes made a penalty for a mask, setting a 48-meter, one of his first career steps. He pushes right and PSU dodge a ball. OSU 14, PSU 13.

8:57

Hamler has the green light to hand off the offensive kicks instead of being caught for touch-ups, but it has cost his team a few tens of dollars tonight. His return reaches only 18, and a maintenance penalty supports them to nine. Fortunately for PSU, a personal foul penalty inflicted on OSU brings them back to 24 … one meter before the sideline. Black Beast

The Ohio State line picks up where she stopped in the first period, filling Sanders for a three-yard loss, and McSorley getting nothing in second place. Third and Long: Chase Young beats a McSorley pass. Three-and-out, and OSU will start at age 44 after some extra penalties from the special teams. Terrible departure for the Nittany Lions in the third quarter, and the audience of White Out is totally silent. OSU 14, PSU 13.

10:22

LANDING. A much clearer offense in the state of Ohio emerges from the locker room after halftime. From the 25, Dobbins rushes for eight yards, then Haskins finds Campbell for gains of eight and nine yards. Dobbins rushes for five meters to move the chains again, then Haskins goes to the bottom for Austin Mack but misses. After an eight-yard pass to Binjimen Victor, Dobbins is short of third and second.

Fourth and Inches: Dobbins gets exactly the number of inches required. First at PSU 35.

Rushes by Haskins (five meters) and Dobbins (six) generate a new first run and lead the Buckeyes into the end zone. Hill runs to the left for eight yards, then makes a one-hand puck to earn another 12 yards. First goal and goal at 4, and Dobbins take it from there. Landing. Thirteen pieces, 75 yards, 4:38. Which reader to start half. OSU 14, PSU 13.

Some statistics:

• Total yards: PSU 293, OSU 93
• Yards per piece: PSU 7.0, OSU 3.1
• First tests: PSU 9, OSU 4
• PSU's McSorley Trace: 10-in-19 for 198 yards and one touchdown, plus 10 runs for 76 yards
• Dwayne Haskins of the OSU: 7 for 16 for 62 yards, TD and INT.
• PSU Miles Sanders: 10 Races for 31 yards
• JK Dobbins and Mike Weber of OSU: 10 runs for 30 yards, two catches for 31 yards and a score

0:00

The return of Hamler is on the score of 18. McSorley and Johnson have committed for 10 yards, McSorley has entered a draw for another eight, then Johnson catches a new pass while the time advances by less than a minute . Sanders goes to the midfield and PSU uses his first time out with 36 seconds. Pete Werner stops McSorley in third and second places, and Gillikin punks. Ohio State puts him on his knees and heads to the locker room, very lucky to be in this game. PSU 13, OSU 7.

1:50

LANDING. Life for the state of Ohio. After another transport of Dobbins, Ohio State runs a perfect screen pass. Haskins looks at Dobbins, who explodes on the right. Ohio State has nothing to do in this game but drags by six at halftime. PSU 13, OSU 7.

2:32

grope. Tuf Borland separates Sanders from the ball and DreMont Jones falls to the bottom of a huge file. The Ohio State defense has just created a break. PSU 13, OSU 0.

2:44

The PSU line dominates. Weber and Campbell's wins are a total of three yards and pressure (again) on Haskins can only find Weber for five yards in third and seventh place. Another fucking three. Chrisman makes another good bet, and PSU will start at age 25.

4:23

Nothing is more a match than a almost successful route of the wheel. McSorley and Sanders can not quite connect, and after a three-yard run by McSorley, Mac Hippenhammer can not run away. Gillikin's boot is just taken at OSU 25. PSU 13, OSU 0.

5:17

OSU only creates his second-third fastest of the night after Haskins has found Campbell for seven yards, but the third result is the same: the PSU's blitzes, Haskins rushes and McLaurin can not bring him back. ANOTHER three for the Buckeyes. Goodness. The Ohio State is so out of the question that Chrisman's boot is even half-safe. Hamler brings it to PSU 29. PSU 13, OSU 0.

5:59

LANDING. McSorley again Hamler target, and again, it is incomplete. Sanders buys space with a five-meter run …

… and then Hamler shows why McSorley is trying so hard to find the ball and why I should shut up. He ended up riding in one of those fast bends and dominating all the Ohio defenders.

A flash of 93 yards and the advance of the PSU have become much more comfortable. PSU 13, OSU 0.

7:02

The OSU offensive: as disheveled. Weber wins just two yards first, then Haskins throws the ball at the back of the pass. Haskins is once again forced out of pocket, and a trio of Lions Nittany, including Micah Parsons, is waiting to catch up. Another punt.

Another good punt, notice. The shoe Chrisman is shot at 1. PSU 6, OSU 0.

8:30

The attack of PSU is disheveled. An angled McSorley towards Hamler is almost eliminated – it really feels like he's forced the ball right now (and the attack seemed a lot better when he was watching a lot of guys) – so Chase Young pushes him for a loss of seven. In the third round, Johnson suffered his second fall, but he would not have had the first goal anyway. Another game for three, and Gillikin's kick (his best of the night) is captured at OSU 40. PSU 6, OSU 0.

9:24

Three J.K. The Dobbins win 16 yards and move the chains, but a fourth earns only two. Haskins is incomplete against a well-covered Terry McLaurin, and in third and eighth place, Haskins is almost sacked and missed, almost a second choice. Four of the five thirds were third and the Buckeyes did not convert any (or are particularly close). PSU will start at 19 hours. PSU 6, OSU 0. Total number of Yards: UPE 166, OSU 56.

11:18

FIELD OBJECTIVE. Frame. PSU was miserable in the red zone. Sanders loses three yards on the first try, then McSorley drastically overtakes Hamler. At the third and thirteenth positions, Sanders yields directly to the stretch but slides about three meters from the sticks. Pinegar's 39 yards are good and double the Penn State lead, but that's six points in three scoring chances. This usually does not work against the first five opponents. PSU 6, OSU 0.

12:48

INTERCEPTION. After an 11-yard run against Mike Weber, the Buckeyes settled for the first time in PSU territory. The ball hits him in the hands, then bounces. Garrett Taylor picks him up and gives him 45 yards in the opposite direction to the OSU 28 before Johnnie Dixon hounds him and a fight ensues. Great opportunity for Nittany Lions. PSU 3, OSU 0.

1:27 p.m.

PSU starts at 19 after another good Chrisman punk. (I feel like I've blogged live a lot McSorley rushes for four yards in first downhill, then finds Hamler winless. His third and six assists for Hamler is divided by Shaun Wade. Three-and-out. Blake Gillikin's second kick is better than the first but is not great – OSU will start at 45. PSU 3, OSU 0. Success rate up to now: PSU 32% (bad), OSU 10% (horrible).

0:00

Dobbins loses three meters wide, then Tariq Castro-Fields almost fires a Haskins miss. A move to Mack is short of chains and Ohio State will start the second quarter with a punting. PSU 3, OSU 0. Total yards: PSU 155, OSU 27. Nittany Lions on pace for 620 yards … and 12 points.

1:14

Great Game # 2 for PSU: McSorley runs right and finds a lot of green grass – worth 51 yards. He went out of bounds at OSU 29. Two Sanders ran just three yards, and McSorley was sacked by Chase Young in third and seventh place. 46-yard field goals from Pinegar are gone. The Lions of Nittany are in the lead, but they should be in the lead. OSU will not be stagnant forever. PSU 3, OSU 0.

3:36

Three and three for the Ohio State. You do not see many of them. A short stint at K.J. Hill and a Mike Weber race win three yards, before Hill slips quickly. The crowd is inside. Chrisman issues a nice note, and PSU will start at 20 years old. PSU 3, OSU 0.

4:58

FIELD OBJECTIVE. McSorley has a lot of guys involved early. After a short run by Sanders, the senior QB hits rookie Pat Freiermuth for 15 yards. He makes his way through OSU territory for 13 yards and lobes the ball to Johnson, who scores a superb one-handed pass to OSU 30.

Sensational.

The reader derails when they try to involve Stevens again. He drops a side and falls on him for a loss of 13 yards. Johnson catches two seven-yard passes to make a field goal attempt, at least. Jake Pinegar's 34-yard rush slips inside the right post. PSU 3, OSU 0.

8:35

Ohio State certainly trusts Dwayne Haskins. At the first real start of the second year, his first two games are assists: a 10-meter Austin Mack and a ball out of the hands of Parris Campbell. His first third (after a false start and a five-yard run): a screen pass to Campbell that is taken by Shareef Miller. The first kick of Drue Chrisman is just taken on the 21st. PSU 0, OSU 0.

10:10

Penn State wins the draw and chooses to take the ball. It's a way to make the electric atmosphere even more electric. KJ Hamler returns the balloon to UPS 21 and we are on the road.

Trace McSorley hits Hamler for nine yards on a fake game, then finds Brandon Polk wide open on the sideline for 20 more yards in the middle of the field. The first port of Miles Sanders earns three yards and after a two-yard loss to Tommy Stevens, McSorley rushes and plunges less than two meters from the chains. Fourth and second in the OSU 42, after a timeout from the Ohio State and a lot of feints: Sanders earns two yards and not an inch more. First down.

He's quickly back to third after Stevens and McSorley's scorecards have won just one laid, and Juwan Johnson gives up a pass, so after all the ruckus, the PSUs … and that drifts to just 20 points. PSU 0, OSU 0.

---

In a short time, the game Penn State White Out has become one of the most prominent scenes of football. The size, the intensity and brightness The crowd, combined with the fact that a great rival is in town, tends to make it unavoidable.

But historically, the White Out has not tended to benefit the local team.

Relative to the spread, Penn State actually underperformed on average about 1.8 points per game before the last two seasons; The Nittany Lions failed to cover five of White Out's seven games between 2006 and 2012.

It's become a benefit more recently, though.

In 2013, PSU was a 2.5-point underdog, but beat Michigan, ranked 18th, in overtime. The following year, the Nittany Lions were a 14-point underdog, but they took the Ohio State No. 13 in overtime before falling. And of course, after being mistreated in 2015 (underdogs with four points, they lost to No. 14 Michigan by 12), they caught fire over the past two seasons.

Their 24-21 win over the United States, Ohio State in 2016, allowed the team to win the Big Ten title. While last season she had 9.5 points, she won 29 wins.

For all intents and purposes, then, the Big Ten race begins Saturday night in Pennsylvania.

Let's do an old-fashioned SWOT analysis to explain how this game might unfold.

Ohio State: flawless efficiency

Four teams beat Ohio State in the last 24 months. But to do this you have to find another route. The most direct path to gains and losses – efficiency – is almost always tinged with red and gray.

In 2015, the Buckeyes ranked 10th in the offensive success rate (the number of games remaining in time for the first attempts) and seventh in the defensive success rate. In 2016: 18th and 14th respectively. In 2017: third and fourteenth. Until now, in 2018, with a new starting quarter: the second and the 15th. They respect the schedule and make sure you do not do it.

Ohio State has a success rate advantage of over 24% over opponents (57.7% to 33.3%, filtering the time spent). While the Buckeyes played only one team in 97th place S & P + (current number 30), but even against TCU, they had a strong advantage of 6%.

The efficiency is reproducible. Ohio State requires you to rely on less reliable methods – a blocked kick returned for a touchdown (2016 Penn State), for example, or a sudden explosion of turnovers (2017 Iowa).

Penn State: The offense is still really good

This is a different attack from Penn State, in some ways opposed to 2016-17, when Joe Moorhead (now the Mississippi State Head Coach) called the plays and the attacking midfielder Saquon Barkley threatened to do 80 yards.

In 2016, the Nittany Lions were dynamos with big players, threatening to score each game, but inconsistent and ineffective.

In 2017, they sacrificed some of the big games for efficiency. They went from 37.6 to 41.1 points per game and from 18th to 10th place in Off. S & P +.

With Ricky Rahne, the new coordinator, they have again oriented their action towards more efficiency. With a thinner receiving corps, they relied on junior Miles Sanders and substitutes Ricky Slade and Mark Allen, who combined 120 carries and 741 yards (6.2 per port) in four games. Quarterback Trace McSorley (38 carries non-sack, 257 yards) is also a weapon. Allen is injured but Slade could be ready for a bigger share of the races.

Despite occasional difficulties – McSorley finishes 54% of his passes, 67% less than last year – PSU ranks eighth in terms of success rate, 12th in efficiency and 13th in efficiency. And Nittany's Lions were effective in gaining momentum over the matches, averaging 18.3 points in the first half and 35.5 points in the second half.

Ohio State: Great games are not the friend of Buckeyes

In 14 games last season, the Buckeyes have allowed 20 wins of more than 30 yards or 1.4 per game.

In just four weeks, this year's defense has already yielded 11, 2.8 per game.

And most of the breakdowns took place in defense-friendly situations. They rank fourth among the authorized standard explosions … and 129th in terms of restitution (second and long, third / fourth and average plus) of the authorized explosive.

The absence of defensive end Nick Bosa, the first-rate junior who had six tackles for a two-and-a-half defeat, could give McSorley an extra kick for finding great opportunities.

The PSU is not the big machine, but if you combine the efficiency of running the Nittany Lions with two or three cuts, then this can be done, especially if the Buckeyes attack can not match.

When the Ohio State has the ball, it's strength against strength and weakness compared to weakness in the explosive department. Penn State ranks 61st in explosive standard descents, but OSU's offense is ranked only 90th. OSU ranks 12th in passes, but PSU ranks 15th.

Penn State: The defense of the race was terribly fragile

Head coach James Franklin appeared to know he had room for maneuver last Friday in Illinois, deploying a large rotation of defenders (several recruits or sophomores) as he and his team continued to try to understand what they had. The game stayed close for a moment.

It's a theme this year. Twenty-five different PSU defensemen have seen enough ground to make at least three tackles (not counting special team tackles), and nine have scored at least 9.5 (Ohio State, for comparison: 22 first, only six of these). ).

We do not know what will happen if Franklin and coordinator Brent Pry reduce the rotation, but we know it: with this big rotation, the defense against the race is somehow flawed. Penn State ranks 73rd for the efficiency of the race and 88th for explosiveness. A trio of Illinois defensemen (Reggie Corbin, Mike Epstein and RaVon Bonner) made 28 passes for 202 yards, while Qadree Ollison and A.J. Davis were 27 yards for 157 yards a few weeks ago.

I just named some good backs, but J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber are better.

(We will combine this into one, because the opportunity of one team is the threat of the other, in fact, simply consider it the most likely route to victory for each team.)

Ohio State's most likely path to victory is pretty obvious

Buckeyes trends have changed since Dwayne Haskins took the quarterback position. Although they have always turned to the game against JT Barrett, they are now throwing more than the national average on the two standard declines (execution rate of 57%, 3 points below average) and success rate ( 25% execution rate less than 10%). ).

Haskins rewarded this trust with supernatural numbers. He completes 76% of his passes to nearly 14 yards per pass and takes few sacks. It shows the balance and decision-making of an older person (he is a sophomore) and distributes evenly – four different receivers have between 205 and 299 receiving yards.

Of course, when there is a match to put to bed, the Buckeyes always have Dobbins and Weber. If the game reaches this stage, it's hard to imagine PSU's young defense getting the stops they need.

When you are the best team – and Ohio State is the "best team" against all teams other than Alabama and may be Clemson or Georgia – you do not have to rely on improbable events. If the Buckeyes win at Happy Valley, it's probably because they made too many conversions with Haskins' arm at the beginning of the match, took advantage of the occasional funks of the PSU and moved the chains with Dobbins and Weber late.

The S & P + projection for this game is OSU 35, PSU 32, but that's the average result. Yes the Buckeyes win, I think it's something close to 35-24.

The most likely path to Penn State's victory: the time of the unveiling

Every week, Franklin shows his team not to look forward. Chaque match est le Super Bowl de cette semaine. Samedi adversaire, adversaire du samedi, adversaire du samedi.

C'est un bon coaching. Garder une bonne équipe concentrée – surtout une bonne Jeune team – nécessite de la diligence, et même avec cette présentation publique, son équipe a failli tomber sur un bon État des Appalaches au cours de la semaine 1.

Malgré tout, les Nittany Lions sont 4-0 et sixième du S & P + malgré le bricolage et une rotation énorme. Et maintenant, nous avons probablement un aperçu plus soutenu de la real Penn State, celui avec la rotation défensive allégée et le livre de jeu plus épais.

«Mentalité 1-0» ou pas, PSU a sans doute tenu des réserves pour ce match. Maintenant, nous découvrons s'ils fonctionnent.

La formule pour battre Ohio State semble simple sur le papier:

• Profitez pleinement des trois ou quatre gros jeux que les Buckeyes vous donneront en défense.
• Confondez Haskins au moins deux fois et assurez-vous de vous retrouver avec le ballon quand vous le faites.
• Hey, peut-être bloquer à nouveau un but – cela a plutôt bien fonctionné la dernière fois.

Ohio State est formidable à se pencher sur vous jusqu'à ce que vous abandonniez, mais quelques équipes par an parviennent à rendre les Buckeyes mal à l'aise. TCU a fait pendant un moment.

Si Sanders obtient 100 verges au sol, si un receveur vétéran comme Juwan Johnson, DeAndre Thompkins (seulement six attrapés jusqu'ici) ou Brandon Polk (idem) peuvent se disputer un long ballon, et si la passe se termine, mené par la fin Shareef Miller , peut amener Haskins au sol, les PSU ont un tir sain.
