The Ohio State football team is taking on Penn State today in one of the biggest games of the year. It's a game that both teams consider a must-win. Penn State even thinks that way despite the fact that they are still undefeated. Ohio State needs it to keep a chance of winning the Big Ten alive.

Coming into this game, there were quite a few players who were on the injury report. We got confirmation earlier that Drew Allar will start for Penn State, so there are just a few questions left on the injury report. It's mostly good news for the Buckeyes.

Lathan Ransom will be back for this game. He missed the Nebraska game after getting hurt during the bye week. He will be back starting for Ohio State. The only player out for Ohio State in this game is Zen Michalski. He left last week with a leg injury and won't play in this one.

On the Penn State side, there are still some questions. Defensive end Dani Dennis-Sutton is a game-time decision. He is officially listed as questionable and they will make a decision after warmups. Personally, I expect him to give it a go and play. How effective he'll be remains to be seen.

Tackle Anthony Donkoh is questionable for the Nittany Lions as well. Those are the only two players who might not play for Penn State. It looks unlikely that he will play, which means they will be down a starting tackle. That should help Ohio State's pass rush in this game.

This is a huge game. How Ohio State's offensive line reshuffles itself with Michalski out is going to go a long way to deciding who wins this game. This is perhaps the most important game in the Ryan Day era.
