Even in comparison to the home opener against Oregon on Sept. 11, this game will be loaded with name-brand recruiting prowess.
Ohio State’s quest to beat Penn State and make a favorable impression on recruits seems to be off to a good start this week. While James Franklin doesn’t even know what team he’s playing on Saturday, the Buckeyes are expected to have many of their top targets from the 2022, 2023 and 2024 recruiting classes in attendance to watch them play the Nittany Lions.
“It gives everyone a chance to see what a big time college atmosphere is like and obviously what Buckeye Nation is like playing in a prime time game,” Ryan Day said of the Penn State game Tuesday.
