How to watch Penn State football opposite Ohio State: Time, channel, streaming info, and more
Game day is nearly here for No. 6 Penn State. The Nittany Lions face No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday at The Horseshoe in their biggest clash of the season for both sides. A sellout crowd is expected in Columbus.
“We’re trying to find a way to get a win this week against a really good team, against a program we got tremendous respect for, coaching staff we got a ton of respect for, the talent they have,” Lions coach James Franklin said on Tuesday. “But we approach to the same every single week. Everybody on the outside is talking. We’re approaching it the way we do every single week. This is a really important game. Why? Because of how we’ve handed the previous six. If we didn’t handle the previous six the right way you wouldn’t be asking that question. So each week is really important. That’s how we approach it.”
Buckeyes coach Ryan Day also discussed the Lions on Tuesday.
They were a very, very good defense [last year],” Day said. “And you can see the turnovers they’re creating. And they played against some solid teams. It’s not like they haven’t played against anybody. They played against some Big Ten teams, and you can just see the one-on-one matchups. And then also coming off the last year. I mean, these guys have played before, and some veteran guys on that side of the ball. So I mean, they’re a very good defense.”
