Ohio State uses fourth-quarter barrage to escape Penn State with 44-31 victory

Ohio State found a way to escape State College with a victory.

The second-ranked Buckeyes fell behind No. 13 Penn State 21-16 at the 9:26 mark of the fourth quarter, but managed to score four touchdowns in a span of just over six minutes to flip that deficit into a 44-31 victory.

For the Buckeyes, there were two players at the center of it all: J.T. Tuimoloau and Marvin Harrison Jr. While Harrison caught 10 passes for 185 yards and was clearly the best player on Ohio State’s offense, Tuimoloau wreaked havoc defensively.
