Comparing Ohio State vs. Penn State at Every Position

Ohio State faces its second true matchup game of the season when it travels northeast this weekend to play Penn State in a showdown of top-four teams.

The Buckeyes lost the first time they played a team with truly comparable talent this season, suffering a 32-31 defeat at Oregon. Ohio State came dangerously close to being upset by a team with decidedly less talent last week, when the Buckeyes trailed in the fourth quarter before pulling out a 21-17 win, so Ohio State will need to play better on Saturday than it did in either of those two games to earn a victory in Happy Valley.
