They don’t want to recall their last excursion here to Columbus. For the matter, Penn State players do not wish to live on the past year’s double-overtime thriller either.
Odds are the Nittany Lions will not behave like they did in 2013, a 63-14 reduction. Odds are they probably will not shut out the Buckeyes from the second half just like they did in 2014.
No matter the Lions haven’t been overly excited to reminisce about either game this week.
“We lost,” senior captain Jordan Lucas stated. “That’s what I remember.”
That would be the common denominator there, yes.
What chance do the Lions have now been around against the No. 1 team in the polls, the defending national champs who have never lost a regular season Big Ten game in four years under Urban Meyer? Slim, albeit better than it appeared a week back.
From the sounds of things, the Lions are going to the Horseshoe in better health than they’ve had for the past month. That should imply players like Saquon Barkley and Angelo Mangiro are back in the lineup together with all the usual faces on protection. Even Adam Breneman obtained in his first regular repetitions with the crime this week following a week to the scout team to acclimate back to actions.
The Buckeyes haven’t necessarily lived up to their No. 1 position through six months, tied or trailing Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois, Indiana and Maryland at halftime. But it’s hard to imagine them coming out tired with this one, using a crowded house in primetime.
