The Nittany Lions lost quite a few who transferred after everything transpired in the spring. Without some of their main components like running back Silas Redd (who left for USC), some younger guys will need to fill bigger roles.
For Ohio, it’s an opportunity to get some attention while the country is watching. The Bobcats were far from a pushover last year, winning 10 games including the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Utah State. This year, Ohio is thought to be tough again and should provide a stiff test for Penn State immediately.
