Could Buckeyes, Nittany Lions see different shades of red Saturday?

Gazette scribbler R.F.B. (Run From Buckeyes) Headley is reeling from his worst record all season (32-19) and of course his favorite Minnesota Yike!-ings also tasting defeat vs. ugh....Detroit.

Yet Round Belly is also sniffing Halloween candy while still boasting a 376-118 (.761 winning percentage) record entering perhaps a less tricky Week 9 collegiate slate.

Tonight

No. 19 PITTSBURGH over Syracuse; GEORGIA SOUTHERN at Old Dominion.
