While Penn State was sleep-walking through a victory over Syracuse, the Nittany Lions' Big Ten rival Ohio State played USC.
The OSU-USC game was a great. As a Penn State fan, I was kind of pulling for Ohio State so they would retain a high ranking and make it more meaningful when Penn State plays the Buckeyes later this season.
Still, the game had good news for Penn State fans.
Had USC's freshman quarterback Matt Barkley been able to throw the ball with any accuracy and had his receivers been able to catch the ball, USC would have crushed Ohio State, instead of squeaking out an 18-15 victory.
Watching Ohio State's pass defense, you can imagine Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark tearing them apart.
This bodes well for the Lions.
