VIDEO: JK Dobbins Challenges Penn State With Awesome Quote Ahead of Big Ten Heavyweight Matchup
By Mark Powell
JK Dobbins is ready for Penn State. After demolishing Rutgers but failing to cover the spread (yes, some of us were watching!), Dobbins and the Ohio State Buckeyes must prepare for the Penn State Nittany Lions next week in a game which could very well clinch their spot in the Big Ten Championship. Dobbins, who recorded 89 yards despite only playing the first half in Jersey on Saturday, is ready for the challenge.

JK and the Scarlet and Gray haven't faced any fourth-quarter tests so far this year, so the reporter is right to ask how the Bucks will react to a real challenge. Yet, Dobbins isn't convinced even James Franklin's bunch will offer them a legitimate battle in Columbus next Saturday.
Penn State is ranked ninth in the country per the most recent CFP rankings, and will likely rise next Tuesday thanks to their victory over Indiana this week. Sean Clifford is capable behind center, but the Nittany Lions haven't seen a defensive unit like the Buckeyes.
Not to mention that Ohio State will be getting back Chase Young. Yikes.

Dobbins' ceaseless production has been essential alongside Justin Fields. Ohio State's stable backfield, led by Dobbins' 1,200 yards rushing to go along with 12 touchdowns and 7.2 yards per carry, gives Fields and the OSU offense the consistency needed to scare any so-called Big Ten contender.
