The unbeaten Penn State Nittany Lions turn toward a finish that includes three Big Ten road games and a visit from Ohio State.
At 6-0, Penn State football finds itself squarely in the playoff conversation and ranked No. 3 in the nation. Whether the Nittany Lions are actually the third-best team in the nation might be up for debate. But what isn’t debatable is that Penn State is well on its way toward another double-digit win season and even possibly a home game in the College Football Playoff.
But even with one big test passed, that doesn't mean the remaining schedule contains no challenges beyond the obvious clash against Ohio State on Nov. 2 at Beaver Stadium. So at the midway point, here’s a reset on Penn State’s upcoming schedule and what pitfalls might await.An evening kick in Madison might be what Penn State gets for missing out on a night clash in Morgantown earlier in the year.
Following a loss to USC on the road, the Badgers have bounced back to beat Purdue and Rutgers by a combined score of 94-13. Penn State proves to be a stiffer test than those two teams, but the Nittany Lions have struggled coming out of the off week before, and Madison is one of those places where wins never come easy. Penn State should win, but Jump Around will be plenty energized.
The Buckeyes boast one of the most talented, and most expensive, rosters in the nation. Quarterback Will Howard might not have the legs of his Buckeye predecessors, but even after a road loss to Oregon, there’s no questioning Ohio State’s credentials. Until Penn State actually wins one of these games again, you can’t pick the Nittany Lions to do so. That said, there's no reason to think this game won’t be as competitive as ever.
