The No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions will clash in a showdown of top offenses Saturday night. The winner of the annual game has gone on to win the Big Ten in each of the past two years so there's plenty at stake here.

The Buckeyes come into the game ranking second in points scored per game (54.5) and third in yards gained per game (599). QB Dwayne Haskins has 16 touchdown passes on the season and running back Mike Weber is putting up good numbers on the ground. They have barely been tested defensively yet, but I think their D will be well prepared and ready for this matchup.

Penn State leads all FBS teams in scoring at 55.5 points per game but rank "only" 16th with their 515 yards per game. QB Trace McSorley is a dual-threat who can make plays with both his arm and his feet and has won 26 of his 31 career starts. He has however completed only 53.8 percent of his passes this year and thrown a pick in each of the last two games.

The Nittany Lions have shown some vulnerability already. They went to overtime in their season opener against Appalachian State before eventually squeaking out a 45-38 victory in that game, and trailed 24-21 in the third quarter last week against Illinois before finishing the game with 42 unanswered points.

Penn State does have one significant advantage in playing in its home stadium, but Ohio State appears to be the slightly better team on both offense and defense.

8* play on Ohio State Buckeyes.
