The game itself could be a fascinating matchup as the dynamic Ohio State offense faces a Penn State defense that has been stingy against the passing game.
Ohio State ranks second in the nation in scoring at 49.6 PPG, and quarterback C.J. Stroud leads the FBS in both passing efficiency (203.9) and passing touchdowns (28). But the Nittany Lions have held three opponents to under 50% in pass completion percentage this season, so it will be interesting to see how thing shake out.
The Buckeyes have dominated this series recently, winning five straight. They're also 15-7 against the Nittany Lions when both teams are ranked.
The game will be called by FOX Sports' top crew of Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft.
