Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Francesa 5 for week number nine in the National Football League.

Now, this week, two college, three NFL games. That's our fair for this last weekend.

Well, really, the last one in October and obviously a little bit of November will be entering on Sunday.

So we make the transition to the month of decision.

Here we go.

Game number one, Penn State has had a tumultuous season.

They come in, they go into the horseshoe in Columbus, a game that they always really feared because they have not been able to beat this team.

And this year they go in with four losses.

They've lost the last two weeks, close games.

You know, they relieved Franklin of his duties.

So it'll be a new era coming up at Penn State.

Ohio State's trying to win another championship.

What else is new?

The problem here for Penn State is they're trying to finish a season.

Ohio State looks at certain teams on their schedule as real games.

They look at the Penn State game as a real game.

It's not a game that they are ever going to overlook. It's not a game

that they are not going to give you the A game plan. It's not a game that they aren't going to do the

little extra things in week of preparation. It's not a game where they aren't going to really push

the pedal to the medal. They do that three or four times in a college regular season.

They will do that in this game because they know that a lot of those Penn State players

that made them number two or three preseason, whatever they were, are still there.
