No Chance For The Nittany Lions?! — Penn State vs. Ohio State Preview & Prediction
Description
Penn State enters Saturday’s matchup against #1 Ohio State as an 18.5-point underdog — but Zach Seyko explains why the Nittany Lions can still make it close. From Kaytron Allen’s dominance to the emergence of Kobe Howard and Tyseer Denmark, Zach details the game plan Penn State needs to execute to cover the spread — and why Terry Smith’s “empty the clip” mentality could shake up the Buckeyes. He also shares his final score prediction (31–17), breaks down how Ethan Grunkemeyer handles the spotlight, and explains what’s gone wrong with this team since Franklin’s firing.
