UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — It wasn’t until about a year ago under the lights at Beaver Stadium when Ohio State pulled out a 31-24 double-overtime victory against Penn State that Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer realized he had a special group.
“Up until that point, we were good, but I never really saw them fight,” Meyer said earlier this week. “To crawl out from underneath a bad situation, and they did that time, it was incredible. We did go back and watch it, and that was a violent and tough game and [give] a lot of credit to Penn State and our guys.
