The most anticipated matchup of college football Saturday is set for noon EST on Fox, featuring the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes taking on the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions . With over 111,000 fans expected to fill Beaver Stadium, the atmosphere in Happy Valley promises to be electric for this top-five clash.
While the excitement for a game of this magnitude is already sky-high, Penn State head coach James Franklin stoked the flames even further by sharing an epic hype video on his X account on Friday. His post aimed to amplify the energy and anticipation as both teams prepare for what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
The hype video is narrated by former Penn State standout quarterback Trace McSorley , who experienced many intense matchups against the Buckeyes during his collegiate career.
Franklin’s caption read, “Ohio State, Ohio State, Ohio State!!! #WeArePennState .”
This matchup is crucial for James Franklin as he aims to change the narrative surrounding Penn State football. The Nittany Lions haven’t defeated the Buckeyes since 2016, and Franklin’s all-time record against Ohio State stands at just 1-9, with ten consecutive losses to top-five opponents.
