As if the week couldn’t get much worse. Now that Noah Cain will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, Penn State will rely on a rather inexperienced running back committee.
Penn State came into the season with one of the deepest RB rooms in the country

Now the depth chart heading into Week 2 against Ohio State:
Devyn Ford - 72 career carries
Keyvone Lee - 6 career carries
Caziah Holmes - 5 career carries
Devyn Ford at least made a name for himself against Indiana, though it was not how he would have liked. Ford’s all-gas, no-brakes approach wasn’t the only reason the Hoosiers pulled off the upset, but outside of a frankly abysmal kicking game, it was the most egregious.
Well, maybe the second-most egregious error of the game.
No matter, the Nittany Lions will just have to rebound against... the 3rd-best team in the nation. The Buckeyes are coming off what became a convincing win over Nebraska.
Unsurprisingly, Saturday’s top-20 matchup will receive early morning and prime time hype. A pair of former Penn State linebackers will also be offering a unique viewing experience.
