The No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes won a defensive showdown over No. 6 Penn State on Saturday afternoon 20-12, behind a blistering defensive effort from the Scarlett and Gray.
Penn State converted a single third down on the day, on their final drive of the game, while being held to under 250 total yards of offense. Star quarterback and Northeast Ohio native, Drew Allar felt the pressure all afternoon, completing just 43-percent of his passes on the day for 191 yards and one touchdown.
While it also tough sledding for the Buckeyes offense against an equally stout Penn State defense, Ohio State used a first half, Miyan Williams touchdown and a couple of Jayden Fielding field goals to build an early lead. Late in the fourth quarter, an 18-yard Marvin Harrison Jr. touchdown reception sealed the deal for the Bucks.
