Penn State is currently unbeaten.

Even though, we all know, they are a fraud. They have everything lined up nicely though to prove everyone wrong.

Other than the brain fart at the end I don’t put this loss on him.

The biggest issue for me is that we have seen a Jim Knowles defense get punched in the mouth yet again in a big game. For 3 f***ing years.

Credit to Oregon though for winning that game.
Weirdly enough -- that defense has actually been giving up big plays all year. THey just get away with it against bad teams.

The defense is very passive. Zero pass rush.

It’s been a theme for the last couple of years. It starts with coaching. JTT is the most over hyped Buckeye I can remember in forever. He plays good one time a year and it’s always Penn State for whatever reason. But as a whole, they don’t stunt on the line or dial up blitz’s. LB has been a sore spot since 2019 too.

Penn State hasn’t lost and Ohio State has

What's more impressive, barely losing to a stacked team like Oregon, or needing OT to barely beat 3-3 USC? I know it often just comes down to wins and losses but this is pretty extreme. Ohio is the consensus favourite for their upcoming game, even on the road, and nobody actually believes Penn is a better team.

It doesn’t matter, if you’re undefeated in the big ten at this point, you’re going ahead of everyone with one loss. Ohio State is the top ranked 1-loss team, so that feels right. They’ll get a chance to decide that on the field.
