The Buckeyes take on rival Penn State this weekend, and this is much more than an average game. In fact there are a lots of things surrounding this game. Let's take a look...
* The game is taking place at 8 PM (ET). This is the Buckeyes first night game since Texas in 2005.
* ESPN's College Game Day will be broadcasting from Columbus.
* It is Homecoming with all the festivities that surround it.
* Big recruiting weekend including DT Corey Adams.
* OSU has planned there version of the white out called "Scarlet Fever."
* Ohio State is ranked #10; Penn State #3.
So yet again the excitement and media spotlight has been put on the Buckeyes. It seems like the Buckeyes are always looking for a reason to get hyped with a chip on their shoulder, and they definitely have that this weekend. I am personally sick of having to play the "prove me wrong" role with the media, and I think this game would go a long way in silencing the doubters.
I will say this though, the Buckeyes better show up with attitude Saturday night! They looked scared versus USC, and never acted like they were confident. If we are just trying to prove that we belong on the field with the top teams in the country, we are always going to lose. We need to start believing we are the better team! This is a big weekend!
