Projected Penn State printable depth chart: Ohio State week
Penn State football no longer provides an official depth chart. So, Blue-White Illustrated has taken up the task of projecting one each week, presented here as a printable file.
And this week, it’s for the biggest annual test on the Nittany Lions’ schedule. Penn State is set to welcome No. 2 Ohio State to Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon (12 p.m., FOX). Penn State will look to produce its best performance of the season.
According to Penn State head coach James Franklin, this is a week in which the Nittany Lions’ construction as a program comes into focus.
“There are certain weeks you feel like you match up better, whether it’s scheme, or there’s certain weeks whether you match up, whether it’s personnel, better than other weeks,” Franklin said on Tuesday. “There’s no doubt about that. You may have an injury at a position or two and that position is where their strength is. There’s a lot of things that factor into it.

“That’s the challenge. You’ve got to be able to feel like you can line up and matchup from a skill and athleticism perspective with an Ohio State one week. And then say you make it to the Big Ten Championship and you play Wisconsin, that’s a very different animal that you’re getting ready for. And, you have to either have the depth or the diversity within your personnel to do it.”
