Its the final Saturday of October, but we'll forgo clichéd references to Halloween or tricks or treats coming in Week 9 in the college football season. The story for the weekend is the games and there's three significant matchups worth acknowledging
No. 2 Ohio State heads to No. 13 Penn State in the first serious road game for the Buckeyes, who have played six of their first seven games at home. The Nittany Lions have hung with OSU for the past five games - all losses - so this shapes up as a close game that could swing the balance in the Big Ten East if they can pull of an upset in front of their raucous home crowd.
