USA, ColumbusSat Nov 01 2025

In a surprising turn of events, Penn State's football season took a dramatic downturn during Week 10.

A Shocking Loss and Changes

The Nittany Lions faced the Ohio State Buckeyes, a game that many thought could decide the Big Ten title. Instead, Penn State's season unraveled.

  • Head Coach James Franklin was let go.
  • Starting Quarterback Drew Allar was sidelined for the rest of the season.

This left Penn State with a lot of questions about their future.

Ohio State's Dominance

Meanwhile, Ohio State has been on a roll.

Quarterback Julian Sayin's Spectacular Performance

  • Completion Rate: 80%

The game in Columbus was a clear example of this dominance. Ohio State's performance raised questions about Penn State's ability to bounce back.

The Road Ahead

  • Penn State: With their coach gone and their starting quarterback out for the season, the Nittany Lions have a tough road ahead.
  • Ohio State: The Buckeyes continue to prove why they are one of the top teams in the nation.

Contrast in Performance

This week's games showed the stark contrast between the two teams.

  • Ohio State's Success: A testament to their strong performance and teamwork.
