I'm a b10 guy, here is my 2 cents for what its worth( not much)
My PSU take:
The Mich win has some people wondering how in the hell OSU is a TD favorite. If you watch b10 football, you should have seen that game being at least a 2 TD game. PSU has not had that difficult of a schedule yet in my opinion( Mich is too offensively challenged to beat anyone good), the win at Iowa at night was their best win. The Hawks have a history of being a tough out at home, at night. McSorley is going to have to get the ball out quick tomorrow or he will be running for his life all game. The kid is a gun slinger and throws more 50/50 balls than anyone in the country. If he can complete those passes without turning it over he may find similar success as Baker Mayfield had in Columbus. The only difference is OSU's young secondary has more experience now.
OSU Take- JT Barrett comes to mind first, of course, but I think the play calling will be the key here. If Kevin Wilson/Urban don't let him take opertunistic shots down field early I think OSU could be in for a long game. Over the past season or two Urban gets tight in big games down the stretch and runs Barrett way too much. OSU defensive should play good enough in this difficult spot. OSU has been beating down inferior competition since the OU loss. However, there have been so many small improvements that have taken place since that loss, mostly on the offensive side of the ball.
OSU -7
In my opinion I think OSU is more talented, off a bye and has a loss already. I also like the fact Urban's team has been embarrassed two consecutive times( Clemson/OU).
BOL everyone
