PSU has haunting experience
In a surprising “week after Halloween” prank, those two fun loving head coaches, Joe Paterno and Jim Tressel, pulled a fast one on college football fans by having their teams swap uniforms for the Ohio State vs. Penn State game. As expected, the powerful Penn State defense, led by Jared Odrick (wearing Cameron Heyward’s No. 97) wreaked havoc on the Ohio State offense. Terrelle Pryor, wearing Daryll Clark’s No. 17, looked like the proverbial “deer in the headlights.” Unable to run, and with little time to throw, his passes were off-target and ineffective. The running game was no better. The Nittany Lion D clearly didn’t mind wearing red and gray as they spent most of the afternoon in the Ohio State backfield dropping runners for losses. On the other hand, the Ohio State defense was not helped by wearing the storied uniforms of Navarro Bowman and Sean Lee. They spent the afternoon on their heels chasing down runners from behind after long gains.
