As noted above, Penn State is not going to win this contest if its third down percentage sags anywhere near its season average.

The 2015 college football season continues Saturday, November 28, as the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes travel to face the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines in a Big Ten game at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
TEXAS CHRISTIAN (-1½) over Baylor; MICHIGAN (+1) over Ohio State; Indiana (-6½) over PURDUE; Unlv (-3) over WYOMING; FLORIDA (+2½) over Florida State; SOUTH CAROLINA (+17) over Clemson; Wisconsin (-2½) over MINNESOTA; Oklahoma-OKLAHOMA STATE (Under 68½); STANFORD (-4) over Notre Dame; Ucla (+3) over USC. We have no idea what could happen.
I don’t know if they can get the big play to capture the win, but I believe the defense will keep them in the game to give them the opportunity.
Prediction Really? So this is how it’s all going to end for Ohio State this year? “I can assure you that you will be proud of our young people in the classroom, in the community and, most especially, in 310 days in Ann Arbor, Mich., on the football field”. Instead, they’re headed out west for the other, less awesome OSU rivalry game.
Much remains on the line, including the finishing touches on the legacy of the winningest class in program history.
This week’s keys to the game focus on what the Nittany Lions will need to do to secure an upset victory on the road and spoil Michigan State’s National Championship dreams.
Notre Dame did win last week, but only by three points to Boston College. After getting the ball on a turnover at the Michigan State 32 in the second quarter, the Buckeyes needed 10 plays to score, with Elliott going in from the 1 on the last of his eight carries on the drive. “You’ve got to do it in every area”.
Follow Chris for more insight, including on the upcoming conference championship and bowl season, @andrewssports. Ezekiel Elliott was outspoken about the play-calling and many fans were incredibly frustrated with the lack of touches for the star running back and the lack of downfield throws for J.T. Barrett.
And it may get no easier today. The Big House hosts the adversaries and 110,000 or so of their most enthusiastic devotees. Under Tressel, the maize and blue suffered seven straight defeats against the men of Columbus.
The Buckeyes (10-1, 6-1) and Wolverines (9-2, 6-1) are meeting for the 112th time. OSU lost in 1999 and 2011.
Senior offensive tackle Taylor Decker and senior defensive tackle Adolphus Washington are also projected as high draft picks. Kasich filed his first good-natured resolution for the storied series two years ago, which called for OH residents to avoid the 13th letter of the alphabet on game day. “They need to grow within our system”, Dantonio said.
Gov. @JohnKasich issues resolution for the 3rd annual Scarlet Letter Saturday.
