Penn State put up a great effort but a few mistakes cost them the game. It isn’t easy to win on the road and the Buckeyes took advantage of the lapses on the defensive side by the visiting team.
The Lions gave up a goal in the first two minutes of each period, giving Ohio State a buffer to play with while they tried to make a comeback. Two of the goals came on breakaways and one was off a turnover in the Penn State zone. While all scores count equally, the rest of the game was dominated by the Lions.
