I'm backing Penn State in this matchup. Although I'm not entirely confident in their quarterback situation, I believe they can find a way to challenge an Ohio State offense that seems to be struggling. 

While James Franklin has had his ups and downs in critical games as Penn State's head coach, Ryan Day has faced his own challenges in these high-pressure situations. I’ll take the Nittany Lions to cover the spread.

Ohio State vs. Penn State Prediction: Penn State +3.5
