Lee Corso backed the Buckeyes ahead of their top-five matchup against Penn State in Happy Valley.
Ahead of the highly anticipated matchup between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 3 Penn State in State College, Pennsylvania, Corso put on Brutus’ iconic headgear for the 43rd time since ESPN’s College GameDay premiered in 1996. The Buckeyes are 27-15 across the 42 previous games Corso picked them to win.
"When in doubt, go with your heart."

Ohio State has lost its last two games which Corso predicted the Buckeyes to win, falling to Michigan in 2023 and Oregon earlier this season.
Shockingly enough, former Heisman Trophy winner and Michigan football great Desmond Howard — known for his disdain for Ohio State on College GameDay — joined Corso and rolled with the Buckeyes over Penn State.
The Buckeyes are three-point favorites to take down the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium on Saturday and seek to extend their winning streak against Penn State to eight.
The marquee matchup between Ohio State and Penn State serves as FOX’s Big Noon game, with Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson on the call from Happy Valley.
