Smart money is on a PS victory, something along the lines of 35-3. Our awesome defense is going to shut down the Bucks. A sad day in Columbus. Then we springboard on that win by winning a shootout versus IU, knocking off 2 #1 teams in consecutive weeks. End up winning the B1G with a 9-4 record and sweeping the playoffs.

Followed up with Urbs signing an HC-for-life contract worth 300 mil.

28-6. I expect PSU to be conservative with only Grunkemeyer and Kritza. OSU will likely play conservative, as they don't need to do much to win this game.

True they don't but Day might want to embarrass Knowles...I wouldn't discount that motivation. I think 28-6 could be the score at the half.

41-13, bad guys.
I think the middle two quarters are going to be ugly for us. We've been in every game lost so far, arguably should have won each of the 4. The adversity was "overcome-able" in each. I think we keep it close for a quarter, but two unanswered scores in the 2nd Qtr create a hill we can't climb.
3rdQ quick score by them seals our fate.
We fight back some in the 4th, have some positive takeaways to counter the fugliness of the middle 30 minutes, and then try to get our heads on straight for Indiana and whatever hell they may bring.

Please let me be wrong, and we look like a team with talent and pride and promise throughout, win or lose close.

The word bloodbath keeps popping into my mind. Some players are probably just biding their time until they can transfer. I do hope it is not as bad as I am feeling it will be and hope that Coach Terry Smith does well and is able to motivate the players and coach a good game.

Line is 18... mostly along my thinking. OSU will be slow starting off the bye week and PSU will be up skyhigh. Close halftime score and OSU pulls away in the 2nd half methodically. Thinking a final score in the range of 31-14 OSU

38-13 OSU. Our D will play bend but don’t break so it will be several longer, methodical drives for OSU. That will shorten the game but will be brutal to watch. All I want is that we play hard for 4 quarters and Grunk is still upright at the end.

Bloodbath would most likely be apt and accurate. Hope nobody gets injured.

38-3 we have no passing game and OSU’s defense is terrific. They’ll key on stopping the run so it will be hard to get the ball past midfield until the 3rd stringers are in.

It would be nice to see Grunkemeyer score more points for Penn State than he does for Ohio State. Pick 6 nightmares and so forth.

Disagree with those saying Day will run it up on Knowles.

He's contending for a National Championship, and he's not going to risk injuries for style points. Will pull the starters at some point.

Last time we won at the slipper we had an interim coach. Problem was that team was 8-2 going into the game. Hope I'm wrong but even if Day doesn't want to run it up not sure we can move the ball or stop the run so 55-8 final---blocked extra point returned for 2!

I don't think anyone knows what we got under the hood right now. O$U plays close to the vest for the first half or until they get a 10 point lead. I'd say 30-14 final score.

The only smart thing Kraft did was appoint Terry Smith as the interim Head Coach.

Ohio State wins 22-21. Smith gets these guys ready to play and Ohio State is already is looking ahead to Michigan at the end of the year. They have a cake walk the rest of the way with Purdue, UCLA at Home, and Rutgers. So 22-21 Ohio State.
