Get ready for Week 10 of the college football season! Following a drama-filled Week 9, there will be even more intense action, with teams looking to ramp up the intensity as bowl season and the College Football Playoff are quickly approaching! With the season winding down, every win and loss counts more from this point forward. One of the key matchups this week will be the Penn State Nittany Lions taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes in what should be a highly entertaining matchup between two bitter Big Ten rivals.
The Nittany Lions come into this matchup ranked third in the nation with an undefeated record of 7-0, while the Buckeyes come in ranked fourth with a record of 6-1 after losing to the first-ranked Oregon Ducks a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, this matchup has MAJOR College Football Playoff Implications.
One of the biggest storylines heading into this matchup is the status of Penn State’s starting quarterback Drew Allar. Allar suffered a lower-body injury last week, but the Nittany Lions were able to come out victorious over Wisconsin without Allar, despite trailing at the half. Allar’s status is still questionable for the game which has a kickoff time of noon ET.
Despite Penn State playing host to Ohio State for this matchup, the Buckeyes are still favored in this game by 3.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
