A game that looked at first as if it were headed for a blow out wound up a nail-biter in Columbus, as the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes were able to survive a furious comeback by the No. 8 Penn State Nittany Lions for a 28-17 victory on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Plagued by its own mistakes, OSU was able to overcome three fumbles thanks to some incredible production on the defensive side of the ball and a steady diet of ground-and-pound on offense.
In the sporting world, they say that big time players make big time plays in big time games.
