Penn State has played pretty well in Big Ten play, at 3-3, they had won three of four coming into this game. The biggest key in that performance was the Lions’ lockdown defense making it tough for opponents. The other key, however, had been running better offense, making plays as they needed to when a comeback was in order, and simply finding open players who, most of the time, made their shots.
The first part of this was on full display in this game. Ohio State scored XX points below their average of XX. It was the offense that didn’t travel with the Lions, as getting points was harder than pulling teeth all afternoon.
