Going into Saturday night’s game at Ohio Stadium, you would have been hard-pressed to find anyone who wasn’t a Penn State fan that thought the Nittany Lions were going to upset Ohio State.
Many people didn’t even think it would be close. Ohio State closed as at least an 18.5-point betting favorite at most sportsbooks, and everyone on our Eleven Warriors staff predicted that the Buckeyes would win by at least 18 points. Some people were already just about ready to give Ohio State the Big Ten crown, believing the Buckeyes had separated themselves from the rest of the conference, even though they still have an undefeated team (Michigan State) and a one-loss team remaining on their regular season schedule (Michigan).
