Ohio State enters this game with a 6-1 record and is 4-0 in conference play. Penn State meanwhile is 5-2 and 2-2 in the Big Ten, with back-to-back losses to Iowa and Illinois. The Nittany Lions sit first and fourth in the division respectively, with Michigan and Michigan State in between in second and third.
For Ohio State, this game is about testing its seemingly newfound momentum against a quality opponent. Things looked a little out of sorts for the Buckeyes early in the season, highlighted by their loss to Oregon in Week 2.
They've since rolled off five straight wins, scoring over 50 points in four of those games. Quarterback CJ Stroud seems much more comfortable than he did earlier in the season, but he and the Buckeye offense will be truly put to the test against a Penn State defense that ranks sixth in the nation in fewest points allowed.
Meanwhile, Penn State looked dominant earlier in the season with wins over Wisconsin and Auburn, but the Nittany Lions lost their last two games after starting 5-0.
On the offensive side of the ball, James Franklin's team averaged 30.0 points per game in those wins but just 19.0 points per game the last two weeks. This week, the Nittany Lions face an Ohio State defense that hasn't allowed 20 or more points since Sept. 25.
Saturday's kickoff from Columbus will be at 7:30 p.m. ET.
