Ohio State set a pair of scoring records Saturday against Penn State. The Buckeyes scored 44 points, marking the seventh-consecutive game with at least 40 points – a new Big Ten record – and has now scored 20+ in an FBS-record 69 straight games.

...and yet, it felt like for much of the game that the Nittany Lions were actually in control, sort of. Were it not for Ohio State's defense forcing four turnovers that led to 21 points, the result of the game might have been the team's first loss of the season.

Marvin Harrison Jr., continues to look like the best wide receiver in the country, C.J. Stroud continues to look like a Heisman favorite, and J.T. Tuimoloau emerged as a guy who is no longer an "unsung hero" of the Buckeye defense.

This week The Dubcast breaks down the big questions from the Penn State game, including how concerned fans should be about the fact that the rushing attack has looked stuck in low gear for two weeks in a row, or how worried Johnny is about the season-ending showdown with That Team Up North.

We'll examine Stroud's Heisman credentials relative to those of Tennessee signal caller Hendon Hooker, and discuss the prospective College Football Playoff field ahead of tonight's first set of rankings.

Stick around for the debut of a new feature of the program, the betJACK Parlay, in which Andy & Johnny pick a three-wager parlay each week through the rest of the season. We'll check in each week to see how we did, and you can decide if you want to ride with our picks, or fade the picks.

Plus, we'll reach into the mailbag for a full slate of questions in Ask Us Anything, which you can do by sending us questions to dubcast@elevenwarriors.com!


Thanks as always for listening; remember to check out the Dry Goods store, and we'll see you next week!
