There was no way in the world Penn State was supposed to win this game against a top ranked home Buckeyes team. Ohio State boasted the Heisman Trophy winner under center in this one, and with all of that said, the Nittany Lions found themselves well within reach of this game until about three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Two picksixes for the Ohio State secondary in the final minutes put the nail in the coffin. But Penn State showed it was equal to Ohio State overall throughout the rest of the game. It was a physical battle and a defensive struggle, all of the things we have come to expect from a Big Ten heavyweight matchup. And in the end, it was another tough one for the Nittany Lion faithful to swallow.
