STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Ohio State coaches and players are plenty familiar with the difficult environment that awaits them in Happy Valley.The No. 2 Buckeyes (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) survived against Wisconsin in a hostile, raucous atmosphere last week, similar to the one theyll face in their third-straight road game against Penn State (4-2, 2-1), where Ohio State will have to deal with more than 100,000 fans clad in white.Theres a lot of energy right now in that program, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. Wins do that for you. They played their best game, obviously, against Maryland, all the way around.Its a trend thatll have to continue for Penn State -- nearly three touchdown underdogs -- to have a shot against a team thats 30-1 in Big Ten regular season games under Meyer.Ohio State brings the nations third-ranked scoring defense and fourth-ranked offense into Beaver Stadium where the Buckeyes are 4-0 since 2005. But save for Wisconsin last week, Penn State is the only other team thats pushed Ohio State to overtime since Meyer took over, falling in two extra periods in 2014.The margin of error when you play a team like this is so small, youve got to be almost perfect on your details, Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley said.Thats a lesson Penn States young lineup learned the hard way in their previous game against a top 5 team, a blowout to then-No. 4 Michigan where the Nittany Lions managed just three first downs in the first half.Thats something where the margin of error showed up, McSorley said.But McSorleys taken a page out of Ohio State counterpart J.T. Barretts book lately. His 26 rushes for 154 yards and two touchdowns the past two games coupled with his ability to buy time with his feet so his receivers can get deep has led to big plays down the field.Its evidence Penn States offense has turned a corner since the Michigan game and is confident it can hang with Ohio State.I think we would be extremely comfortable if its a shootout, tight end Mike Gesicki said. I think we would be extremely comfortable if its going to be one big play that changes the game.RESPECTING BARKLEY: Ohio States defense has allowed just one 100-yard rusher so far but hasnt faced one as dynamic as Saquon Barkley.Leading the Big Ten with nine touchdowns, Barkley has 51 carries over the past two games and ran for 202 yards against Maryland.Hes probably one of the top running backs in the nation, if not the top running back in the nation, Ohio State safety Malik Hooker said. Hes got a lot of vision, makes a lot of jump cuts and stuff like that, and once he does that and gets a lot of teams out of their coverage, its hard to get him down because hes got a lot of speed, too.LINEBACKERS BACK: Both teams are healthier at linebacker.Penn State had seven out with injuries before starters Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda returned to practice on Tuesday. Theyll play after missing the last five and four games with leg and hand injuries, respectively.Ohio States Dante Booker, whos missed the last five games with a knee injury, is also expected to return.END OF THE LINE: Penn State will likely use a combination of Paris Palmer and Chasz Wright to plug the hole left by Andrew Nelsons season-ending knee injury and keep Ohio States surging defensive line at bay. The Buckeyes had four sacks last week including a game-sealing swarming of Alex Hornbook in overtime.GUSTY EVENING: Heavy rain and flooding Thursday evening into Friday around State College forced the athletic department to close a handful of parking lots prior to the game. While the rain is expected to stop before kickoff, wind could pick up with local forecasters predicting possible 40-mph gusts at game time.TOUGH COMPETITION: A win for Penn State would be big to snap out of a long slump against the nations best teams. Penn State is 0-9 against top 5 teams since 2005 -- with four of those losses coming to Ohio State -- and is 0-7 against the Buckeyes, Michigan and Michigan State since James Franklin arrived.Hector Bellerin Arsenal Jersey .

It was horrid, Paz said. If it was today, I would have had him shoot me up with morphine. But back then, I just said, `Take them out. Ill handle the pain.Paz said he is pleased with director Ben Youngers movie, which was filmed entirely in Rhode Island. Paz said it accurately depicts his wild child character traits, the tough-love dynamics of the working-class home where he grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island, and his stubborn and masochistic fight to get back into the ring after his spinal injury.Anyone who watches the movie and isnt inspired to go out and do something great must have some heavy polluted blood going through their brain, he said.What made him cry was seeing his late parents brought to life on screen -- Katey Sagal plays his mother, Louise Pazienza, and Ciaran Hinds plays his father, Angelo Pazienza.It made me tear up that they couldnt see it, Paz said.Paz sppoke by telephone from Las Vegas, where he is planning to move soon, though he also intends to keep his longtime home in Warwick, Rhode Island.dddddddddddd He has survived not just the 1991 crash on Warwicks Route 1 but years of legal trouble, including a domestic violence charge that was later dismissed. After gambling away much of his prize money in the 1990s, Paz said hes done with casinos, but still gravitates to the 24/7 lifestyle he finds in Vegas.Im a little fast, a little different than everybody, he said. Some people are very happy getting married and having kids. Thats just not my thing. They do a 9-to-5 job and are as happy as can be. Thats just not my thing.His upcoming travel plans to promote the movie include trips to Italy, China and Dubai. He joked that hes also open to taking a White House job working for President-elect Donald Trump as his secretary of athletics, maybe, or secretary of boxing. Paz knew Trump when he boxed at the real estate moguls Atlantic City casinos, attracting big crowds there in the late 1980s and early 1990s.How many people can say this: Literally, like literally, I made millions of dollars for the president, Paz said. Hes gonna put me on his Cabinet somewhere for that. ' ' '
