Yep.

Nighttime, the Saturday before Halloween, with upsets earlier in the day, would be tough to overcome.

Hopefully Sean Clifford used up all of his good play for the year against Minnesota on Saturday.

Still fully expecting him to look like Peyton Manning again against us though.

Clifford loves to save up his heroics to use against the Buckeyes. That, and knowing it's the last time he'll ever face them, and you do have a recipe for a big game from him.

Or he'll be regular Clifford and throw for 145 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT. As a PSU fan, I'm not sure I can remember a QB as frustrating as Clifford, and it feels like we've had to endure him for a decade. GO AWAY CLIFFORD. Unless he manages to lead this team to a magical win on Saturday...then i guess he can stay for another 10 years.

If we come out flat offensively like we did against Iowa, Penn State is in business.

I don't think their offense is elite by any means but its a lot better than Iowa's. Better enough to not just hand use points, even if its 3 at a time.

Ohio State has lost there twice ever in prime time games. (05 and 16)

You guys own them in white out games and prime time there. I’d a wanted that if I was a bucks fan.

Not sure it’s ever smooth sailing there, but a win is a win.

I wish my team had that problem.

I understand. It’s a scary place at night.

I took my son to a night game at happy valley and I had him change into a long wig and a dress just so he’d be safe.

Had a friend that graduated from Penn State. Was visiting her one weekend and, while taking shit for being an Ohio State fan, I made the mistake of telling them I didn't dislike Penn State and actually rooted for them when they aren't playing Ohio State (before scandal) thinking that would calm things down. Not even close, it just pissed them off more

The fact the BIG is still wanting to keep divisions is just retarded

It really is. That West division is embarrassing; and quite frankly, it's so imbalanced that it's not really fair. It's like the best team in the B10 vs. the 4th or 5th best team in the B10 most years in the conference championship game.

But on another note, the UCLA and USC additions are looking like excellent picks this year. I can't wait to play some home games against them.

A pretty good friend is a PSU alum. They’re a strange breed.

They think there’s a rivalry between the schools. Probably pissed them off that you (or any tOSU fan) doesn't consider them in that way. Bless their hearts.
 
Iowa was close. Just a few more scores for Iowa and a few less scores for Ohio State and it would have been a completely different game.
 
Penn State is a very pedestrian, mediocre, lackluster, hapless team. I think we can all agree on that. Very hapless.
 
Holy fuck, I completely forgot about LaVar Arrington. A shame that achilles injury derailed his career
