But according to BetOnline, a new favorite has risen to the top with odds of +140 to be named the next head coach at Penn State: Ohio State offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline.

It seems like whenever a big-time college football job comes open, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer sees his name lobbed about as a potential candidate. No matter that Meyer has now been removed from the college game for seven years now, and has a pretty cushy job with Fox's Big Noon College Football crew.

This time it went to Jeremiah Smith, who moved Ohio State from its own 22-yard line to the Penn State 21-yard line with his 57-yard catch. Sayin then finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Bennett Christian to make it a 31-14 lead with 3:21 left in the third quarter.

Who will be the top backup quarterback for Penn State football now? The Nittany Lions may turn to their No. 4 QB, if needed, against Ohio State.

The LSU Tigers are set to navigate the program's coaching search, cross this National Championship winner off the list.

Hartline, a former NFL wide receiver with seven seasons of playing experience with the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns, returned to his alma mater in 2017 while Meyer was still Ohio State's coach. He started as a quality control assistant and has steadily risen up the ranks in Columbus in the years since.
