STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Will Howard threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns and No. 4 Ohio State's defense made a late defensive stand to lift the Buckeyes over No. 3 Penn State 20-13 on Saturday.
Ohio State (7-1, 4-1) kept its hopes alive for a spot in the Big Ten Championship game by beating the Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-1) for the eighth straight time. Howard, who believes Penn State thought he "wasn't good enough" when it declined to offer the Philadelphia-area native a scholarship, exacted a measure of revenge in front of the largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history (111,030).
