Don't laugh. I've actually seen some the cult use that very reasoning to explain why they REALLY should have won the 64-14 blowout in the Shoe a few years ago.

Yep. Only twice since PSU joined the B1G has a team had consecutive home games in the series: PSU in 1994/1995 and OSU in 2010/2011.

I have misplaced my pants.
1. It was 63-14, and could have been worse than that.
2. I can back up your claim with some examples:
- I think it was the first quarter. Ohio State had the ball and either a 7-0 lead or maybe 14-0 lead. The game was far from decided. Ohio State had the ball deep in their own territory, and it was either third and long, or it was third and long after this play. But Miller scrambled around the right side, toward the OSU bench. Some offensive lineman whose name escapes me hit a Penn State defensive lineman with a crack-back block. I've seen that hit called as "targeting", but it usually isn't called. It wasn't called in that case, either. Miller either scrambled for a little bit, or maybe completed a pass for a bit. Either way, Ohio State had to punt within a couple of plays. If Ohio State is pinned back deeper, who knows? The next play might have seen a sack for a safety, or fumble recovery for a touchdown. Or the punt may have been blocked. Absolutely 0 chance that Ohio State could have gotten any momentum after that penalty got called correctly. Plus, without probably Ohio State's best lineman (was that Marcus Hall?), I doubt Ohio State can stop Penn State from sacking Miller more than 50% of his drop-backs.
- Maybe also in the first quarter, I think it was Dontre Wilson, but it may have been someone else. He tried to dive into the endzone at the corner. The initial call on the field, from what I remember, was touchdown. There was no camera showing the plane that needs to be broken, so it's tough to tell where the ball really is when his foot hits the sideline. I agree that the ball PROBABLY wasn't over the goal line when he was out of bounds, but I don't have enough evidence to correctly spot the ball. The referee put the ball at the 1-yard line. The player's foot was actually out at the 2 or so. Maybe 2-1/2. But he's reaching the ball forward. I'm not arguing that they should have stuck with the touchdown call - the 1-yard line was probably the right spot to put it. But Penn Staters wanted it to be back at the 2 or 2-1/2. First and goal at the 1 is WAY easier to score than First and goal at the 2. So let's assume that Penn State will stop Ohio State from scoring on 4th down at the 2. Penn State only has to drive the ball 98 yards and it's a whole new ballgame.
Edit:
Here's the examples of both.
My second point is at 0:30. It was Devin Smith.
My first point is at 3:52.
Edit 2:
There's another at 4:20. False start on Penn State, and Ohio State still clocked him. Should have been 15 yards and an automatic 21 points for Penn State.

BTW, they have a "sports rules you hate" thread on page 1
I'll give you a few guesses on how that one is going

I do not choose to discuss it
So, are they paying Ohio State a compliment by saying he’ll be a backup here? I realize they’re too stupid to think that one through, but it’s still a funny contradiction.
As is the “not elite” stuff, clearly.
I feel like the internet has pretty conclusively revealed that 95% of human emotion and opinions are projecting personal weaknesses onto others.
