A huge Big Ten matchup is on the calendar as Week 10 of the 2025 College Football season kicks off and the Penn State Nittany Lions visit No. 1 Ohio State.
The Buckeyes are entering this week still undefeated with a 7-0 record; four of those wins came against other Big Ten rivals. In seven games so far, the Ohio State defense has only given up 41 points, while QB Julian Sayin leads the nation with an 80% completion rate.
Penn State, who were viewed as preseason favorites in the Big Ten, are 3-4, with all four losses against Big Ten schools. The team is currently in the midst of a coaching change as head coach James Franklin was fired following losses to unranked UCLA and Northwestern. Today marks interim coach Terry Smith’s second game in the position.
