Penn State-Ohio predictions: Lions set to open up home slate with MAC opponent

We will go on defense first. Make them go 3 and out. Fair catch the punt inside our 10 yd line. 1st play, running play. TFL - 2yds. 2nd Play - pass, under pressure Clifford completes pass to Tinsley just short of 1st down marker, 3rd Play(3rd and 1), screen pass which is dropped, 4th Down punt, pinning Ohio inside their 5 yds line. On the ensuing series, another player on defense gets called for targeting(oh wait, we have to wait for another Big 10 opponent for the next target penalty), which will be overturned.... 
Got purdue pretty much right... see if that translates to this reality (yeah, good luck with that).
First blush, 40-14/17. I could see us dropping 50 on them... hafta look at some video, but I don't see the outcome in much doubt now that we can feel comfortable that both our #2 and #3 backup QB's are capable of getting us home safely.

Well....at least in your scenario we get one of the best punts in history off....from inside our 20 to inside their 5We will go on defense first. Make them go 3 and out.

In that scenario, I'm thinking we should just punt on third down thenWell....at least in your scenario we get one of the best punts in history off....from inside our 20 to inside their 5

Psu by 27-30. Defense still needs work and Ohio scores a td late.
This!! 2 RBs with both over 100 yds, our RBs have the skills to do that. Just give them the rock and let them run. Preferably from the QB under center and the back behind them so they can get a head start when they get the ball instead of that RPO stuff.
Although, there's 100 yards right there . . .24-14 Ohio. Reprise of 2012.
Board. Explodes.
So U all know Ohio is playing to stop the RUN first. They expect PSU to try and establish their O-line and get all our backs many reps.
So will be interesting the first 2 series if we arent successful establishing the run.

You could be right. I'm wondering if because it seems as though our strength is our passing game, they won't try to force us to run, which they may believe they can contain effectively.
We will see.
I'm going with 45-13, Lions.
Sean has a big 1st half throwing to a variety of receivers, and with 3 TD passes and another TD run and a FG, we are up 31-3 at the turn.
Ohio kicks a FG on their opening drive of Q3, and we answer with a nice, mostly ground attack drive lead by Allar and Singleton. We punch it in with Singleton, and the 38-6 lead seems to be enough.
An Ohio turnover gives us the ball again, and a scrappy display by our 2nd and 3d teamers gets us another TD, 45-6. A late Ohio drive and pass against mostly our freshmen and walk-ons give them their final points for the game, and it's a 45-13 Lions win.
On to Auburn with confidence riding high.

We will play kids who don't yet know how to properly wear their pads.

I’ll repeat - 28-7. We win ugly. Plain vanilla in advance of Auburn. It will be 14-7 at halftime. The Board won’t like it.
Just missed it by 1. Defense got safety instead of TD. Got my at least one long run for TD. Saw lots of subs. Not bad prognosticating
