With 9:26 to go in the ball game, Penn State had retaken the lead at 21-16 after Kaytron Allen trucked his way into the end zone on 4th and goal. With a raucous Beaver Stadium crowd screaming at them, Ohio State’s quick-strike offense responded as C.J. Stroud starting from his own 25-yard line found Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka for big gains, followed by TreyVeon Henderson blazing through the middle of the line and racing 41 yards untouched to the end zone, putting the Buckeyes back ahead 23-21.
Okay, fine...The Buckeyes were due for such a drive, but there was still plenty of time left and the Nittany Lions had a golden opportunity to respond and reclaim the lead once again, showing the Buckeyes that they really could go punch-for-punch with them.
