Despite facing a tough opponent, Penn State is poised for a standout season in 2025. Head coach James Franklin’s squad benefits from the return of several key players, including quarterback Drew Allar, who chose to stay in State College rather than declare for the NFL Draft. Alongside Allar, the dynamic running back duo of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singletary is back after combining for over 2,000 rushing yards in 2024. Franklin also added former USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson to bolster the passing game.
The matchup is set for November 1 at Ohio State’s home field, with the kickoff time to be determined. This late-season battle is expected to carry significant weight in the Big Ten standings, with both teams among the favorites to contend for the conference title, alongside the Oregon Ducks.
