Get Dumped Then, Penn State

I'm not doing this again.

We hit this game with the same talking points every damn year. "Penn State always gives the Buckeyse trouble!" or "the last few games have gone down to the wire!" or even James Franklin's "we're one of the few teams to beat them."

The way we talk about this game, you'd think this the damn 10 Year War.

The inconvenient reality is, no matter how close these games have been, the Buckeyes have still won eight of the last nine, losing one game four years ago on a fluke blocked field goal in an outcome that ultimately didn't even matter because the committee saw Ohio State as "unequivocally better" than Penn State regardless.
