Ohio State travels to Penn State next Saturday for a matchup that will feature two top 20 teams. The Buckeyes are going to have to be ready for a Penn State team that will be angry after being upset by Indiana in week one. Ohio State can’t afford to have a let down like them.
Next. Ryan Day apologizing is dumb. dark
As long as the Buckeyes keep winning, they will keep climbing in the rankings. Ohio State will be favored in every game they play in for the rest of the season, including a potential Big Ten Championship game. They just have to keep focused and stay healthy.
