![]() First place in the Big-10 is on the line Saturday night as the #10 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-1) host the #3 Penn State Nitanny Lions (8-0) at 8:00pm EST on ABC for college football betting. Odds makers have Penn State -2.5 point favorites on the road in college football odds against Texas Tech. This game could have national title implications as the Nittany Lions don’t have anyone on their remaining schedule that stacks up to Ohio State. The problem for Penn State is that they haven’t won at Columbus in 30 years. The Nittany Lions have the talent this college football season to compete with Ohio State as quarterback Daryll Clark is the Big Ten's second-highest rated passer. Penn State has the seventh best scoring offense in the country, averaging 45.4 points per game and the Nittany Lions also has Evan Royster who leads the Big 10 in yards per carry. On the other side, Ohio State has started to look like a national title contender since Terrelle Pryor took over at quarterback. "When Terrelle is clicking, he can do a little bit of everything," said receiver Brian Robiskie, "He's scary in the open field." It also helps Ohio State that Chris "Beanie" Wells is fully healthy.Wells has run for 508 yards in four games since his return from injury. Penn State has lost 10 straight games on the road to teams ranked in the Top 25. On the other side, Ohio State has won 12 of its last 13 conference home games against ranked opponents.
