Penn State football is coming off its second bye week with a lot of determination, fire, and drive. Even as an underdog in their upcoming battle, the Nittany Lions are prepared to take on reigning national champions and No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, Nov. 1.
The blue and white have yet to win a Big Ten battle in 2025, falling to Iowa by one point in Week 8. That was the first of a tough three-game stretch, and the Buckeyes are opponent two of that trio. This will be interim head coach Terry Smith's second game under his sudden, newfound role.
