The harsh reality of no bowl trip hasn't slowed down Ohio State or Penn State this season. New coaches Urban Meyer and Bill O'Brien have revolutionized the offenses in both Columbus, Ohio, and State College, Pa., and have their teams on long win streaks entering Saturday night's clash at Beaver Stadium. Expect an electric atmosphere in Happy Valley as Nittanyville has been packed all week and Penn State fans are viewing the game as by far the biggest of the season. Although neither team will play in the postseason, Saturday night's winner likely will have the label of the Big Ten's best team and will put itself in the driver's seat for the Leaders Division championship.
The Buckeye's are traveling to Happy Valley and Beaver Stadium this Saturday for the first time since 2009. Ohio State comes into the game a perfect 8-0 on the season without having really faced a true test on both sides of the ball. Penn State enters the week at 5-2 after reeling off 5 straight impressive wins. The keys to the game will revolve around the play of each teams quarterback. Both teams will have to rely on they play of their quarterback to move the ball this weekend. Whichever quarterback plays better will lead their team to victory.
Prediction: Ohio State's head coach and players have already dubbed Penn State's Beaver Stadium the loudest in the B1G. I expect the crowd and atmosphere to play a pivotal role in Saturday's game. Penn State will come out of the gates hot jumping out to an early lead like they have all season long. The early touchdown will keep the crowd amped and in the game all night long, being the difference late in the game. Good play by Braxton Miller will keep the Buckeye's in the game until late in the fourth quarter when Bill O'Brien puts on a play calling clinic leading the Lions down the field. A late touchdown run by Bill Belton will cap the game winning drive and give Penn State the lead, which the home crowd won't let them relinquish. Penn State takes the win:
Penn State: 24
Ohio State-21
