HT #3 Ohio 10 #7 Paterno-Sandusky 6

Wail, so that's the score, which is good for PSU. But...Ohio connected on a 35-yard pass after the FG kickoff and got down to the PSU 38 before punting. PSU got the ball on their 6, moved it out to their 31 and then punted. Half-time scores in big games flatter Ohio under Ryan Day. Stats too. In this one: 1st downs 13-8; total yards are pretty even, 187-161; and time of possession 16:36-13:24. PSU QB Allar is only 6/17. They have two FGs in one half. That is definitely not good if you're towel snappy. I don't like the look of this game from PSU's perspective. Maybe Ohio's defense wilts per custom in the second half but Ohio has moved the ball against the PSU D and PSU's offense has been anemic. Ohio entered -4 and they have a four-point lead now. And they're at home.
