The first order of business is Penn State still has to beat Minnesota, and then take care of Maryland in next week’s regular-season finale at home. Without wins in these two games, Penn State will not be able to get past Ohio State in the Big Ten title race thanks to a head-to-head tie-breaker favoring Ohio State over the Nittany Lions.

Ohio State has won 30 consecutive games against Indiana. Both the Buckeyes and Hoosiers are now tied for second in conference play with a 7-1 record. No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions are 6-1 heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The world will not end if Ohio State loses to Indiana. In fact, a loss can be spun positive, but a victory over Hoosiers still best-case scenario.
