There was a fallout from Week 9 in college football with coaches and coordinators being fired. Another loser in the weekend was LSU, which stumbled against Texas A&M and now faces little margin of error to make the playoff and likely will have another disappointing season under Brian Kelly.
The biggest game of Week 10 is one of the biggest of the season. No. 3 Penn State is hosting No. 4 Ohio State with both teams in desperate need of a victory for their College Football Playoff and national title hopes.
For the Nittany Lions, the questions are about James Franklin’s ability to win big games and the health of starting quarterback Drew Allar. For the Buckeyes, they would effectively be out of Big Ten title contention and left fighting for their postseason lives in a season where Ryan Day was expected to deliver more.
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports discuss these topics and more in this week’s version of the College Football Fix.
