No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Penn State how to watch, odds, injuries, weather, and series history

It wasn’t easy ensuring that this Week 10 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State would be a top-5 matchup with the inside track to the Big Ten title game on the line, but the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions both got there with Week 9 wins. 

Ohio State let Nebraska hang around in Columbus and nearly fell victim to an upset while Penn State needed backup quarterback Beau Pribula and a pick-six from safety Jaylen Reed to pull off a second-half comeback after starter Drew Allar got hurt on the road against Wisconsin. 

Now, as the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions prepare to meet in a rivalry that has been dominated by Ohio State, the injury report will be important to monitor. Ryan Day’s team has its starting left tackle in back-to-back games, Josh Simmons and then Zen Michalski, and James Franklin is just hoping he has a healthy quarterback in time for Noon kickoff on Saturday.
