UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State hasn't been able to run the ball effectively in, well, it seems like forever. Conventional wisdom would say that could change Saturday against an overmatched opponent in Ohio.
All signs would point to a heavy focus on the ground game, from needing to work on the offensive line, to rotating in four tailbacks and getting them experience. It's also an embarrassment that Penn State hasn't had a 100-yard rusher since Keyvone Lee ran for 134 at Michigan in 2020, and you know James Franklin would love to finally end that dubious streak at 17 games.
