Ohio State legend Nick Mangold dies at 41 years old due to complications from kidney disease.
This game is certainly going to by miles different than what we all thought it would've been before the season started. Their former commander is now gone, and Terry Smith is temporarily driving the bus. Their former starting quarterback is now gone for the season and Ethan Grunkemeyer will be calling the signals. He's never faced a gauntlet of what he is about to see in Columbus this Saturday. I personally believe that Coach Patricia will make Grunkemeyer uncomfortable in the pocket all game.
PSU started to unravel when Allar threw that INT in overtime and it's all been downhill since then. They still have playmakers on both sides of the ball however I doubt Day and Patricia will let them get comfortable especially in a hostile environment. They might score a few points however they won't be able to stop us and it will get out of hand in the 4th quarter.
In my opinion, Day won't keep the hammer down all game however he'll allow the offense to try some new options and stay creative. The point spread is 17.5 IIRC but the end result shouldn't be close.
My final prediction:
Ohio State - 36
PSU - 6
