Haskins and the Buckeyes have been picking on football minnows so far on the season, but their offense has been undeniably robust. They have averaged 54.5 points in their last four games. Ohio State\u2019s first real test comes this coming Saturday, though, against the ranked Nittany Lions, who\u2019ll brandish an elite defense that could stifle the Buckeyes\u2019 ability to move the chains almost at will. But perhaps it\u2019s also the Buckeyes\u2019 defense that will be the key for Ohio State, as it\u2019s about to face Penn State\u2019s offense that been just as unstoppable as Urban Meyer\u2019s squad on the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The over is 5-0 in Ohio State\u2019s last five road games. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Penn State Nittany Lions\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(4-0 Overall \/ 1-0 Conference)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a scary start to their season in which they were nearly toppled by 24-point underdog Appalachian State early this month, the Nittany Lions have seemingly found their groove and has since destroyed teams that stood in their way. In their latest display of power, the Nittany Lions thrashed Illinois in a 63-24 road win last Saturday for their fourth-straight win to open the season. And as usual, it\u2019s their backfield that did the heavy lifting. Against the Fighting Illini, running back Miles Sanders rushed for an astounding 200 yards with three touchdowns. That\u2019s more yards than what quarterback Trace McSorley had in passing yards (160). All told, Penn State had 387 rushing yards in the game, with McSorely adding 92 on 15 carries. The Nittany Lions are going to ride the hot hand of Sanders and their backfield, which entered the Illinois game ranked 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:
