Comments:

Offense: The Buckeyes hold a slight edge in scoring offense and a slight edge in rushing offense. Penn State passes for more yards, but is not rated as efficient as OSU. Slight Edge OSU.

Defense: The teams are close, but the Buckeyes hold an edge in every category, most significanlty in scoring defense where the difference is a touchdown. OSU's pass defense is also statistically significanly better, though Penn State has a definite advantage in pass rush (sacks). Edge OSU

Special Teams: Penn State has a slight edge in net punting, OSU a sight edge in net kickoffs. Penn State holds an edge in punt returns, OSU an edge in kickoff returns. Edge Penn State - There are likely to be more punts than kickoffs.

The teams are dead even in turnover margin
