If it weren’t for the great defensive line coached by the greatest defensive line coach in the world at (the) Ohio State University, I would say that there is now hope for a Penn State victory over the Buckeyes. Vaunted OSU quarterback Braxton Miller succumbed to a shoulder injury that re-aggravated the condition for which he had off-season surgery, and he will apparently miss the season.

Awwww, the Buckeyes just went from national title contender to somewhere in the Top 15 or 20. Pity. I’m all broken up about that.

Redshirt freshman QB J. T. Barrett will get the starting nod with Miller out. He’s listed at 6-1, 225, from Wichita Falls, TX, and he hasn’t yet taken a snap in a real, semi-pro college game.
