SERIES HISTORY BETWEEN THE TWO PROGRAMS...
ALL TIME RECORD: Ohio State 23-8
It's been eight years since the Nittany Lions beat Ohio State, with the last victory coming in 2016. That recent stretch of defeats has created an even bigger hole in the all-time series as the Buckeyes are 23-8 all-time against Penn State. James Franklin's performances in big games have told the story for the Nittany Lions, and Saturday provides an opportunity for him and the program to change the narrative and vault this team into another tier.
