Ohio State's J.T. Tuimoloau shines with pick-6, fumble grab

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Ohio State defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau had already produced an incredible performance, easily the best of his college career. But the sophomore had one more magic moment to deliver.

With 2:47 left and Ohio State leading Penn State 37-24, Tuimoloau pushed offensive lineman Bryce Effner to the turf, leaped and caught Sean Clifford's pass, and then strolled into the end zone.

"The play happens and I just blacked out," Tuimoloau said.

The pick-six capped one of the best single-game performances in Ohio State history and one of the best nationally, as the second-ranked Buckeyes rallied to beat No.
