The biggest game in Week 10 of the college football season will be No. 4 Ohio State traveling to No. 3 Penn State for a noon kickoff at Beaver Stadium.
It will be one of the biggest games of the regular season and a top-five Big Ten matchup. The Buckeyes get their second top-five matchup after losing a 32-31 game to the Oregon Ducks back on Oct. 12.
Heading into the game, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has given his prediction for the game. Meyer is normally pretty positive about Ohio State, so his answer may surprise some.
"I think Penn State covers the spread,” Meyer said via the The Triple Option podcast. “I think this is going to be a walk-off for one of the two teams. This will be a one- or two-point game.”
The Buckeyes are a -3 favorite heading into the game over the home team Penn State. Meyer believes if the Buckeyes win, it will only be a point or two and it will come in the final seconds.
Just last week, the Buckeyes had their second close game of the season against Nebraska. Ohio State hung on for a 21-17 win to move to 6-1, but it was a bad showing overall for the offense. If Ohio State is going to beat Penn State, they are going to have to find their running game with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins again.
For Penn State, it is unclear whether or not Drew Allar will play with his knee injury. But with Allar practicing and being called a game-time decision, one would expect he may be giving it a go. If he can’t, the Nittany Lions will turn to backup quarterback Beau Pribula.
