Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday night on ABC the Penn State Nittany Lions face-off with the Ohio State Buckeyes in a prime-time Big Ten match-up. Odds makers call the Nittany Lions a 2 point road favorite with the total sitting at.
The conference lead will be on the line as no. 3 Penn State looks to snap a 10 game losing streak against ranked opponents. The Lions have not beat no. 10 Ohio State in Columbus since 1978.
Penn State has the seventh best scoring offense in the country, averaging 45.4 points per game. They have not yet been truly tested, dominating opponents thus far, cruising to an 8-0 overall record and 4-0 in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions National Championship hopes ride on this game with Ohio State.
The Lions will need a big day from quarterback Daryll
For the Buckeyes to be successful, they will have to get a solid game out of their own quarterback. Terrelle Pryor, one the nation's most highly touted recruits, has passed for 653 yards and 6 touchdowns since taking over for senior Todd Boeckman. Pryor has also put up more than 400 yards on the ground and ran for 5 scores.
"When Terrelle is clicking, he can do a little bit of everything," said receiver Brian Robiskie. "He's scary in the open field."
This talented group of Nittany Lions should be able to do enough to win a tough game at Ohio State. Take the Lions and give the 2 points on the road.
