Marvin Harrison Jr. showed why he's a Heisman Trophy candidate and Ohio State's defense smothered Penn State in a 20-12 Buckeye victory Saturday afternoon in Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State made it seven wins in a row against Penn State and improved to 7-0 on the season by way of a 20-12 score Saturday afternoon in Ohio Stadium.
Ohio State's second win this season against a top-10 opponent coupled with Michigan's blowout of Michigan State leaves the Buckeyes and Wolverines as the lone unbeatens in the Big Ten East. There's a strong argument to be made that yesterday's performance was the most impactful of his Buckeye career to date.Even with Penn State's passing game failing to generate many explosive plays against inferior opponents coming into the matchup with Ohio State, plenty of fans were still nervous about the fact No. 1 corner Denzel Burke was out due to injury.
Mathews continued his fearless play logging three stops and pass breakup of his own. The PBU came on a 3rd-and-8 play with Ohio State nursing a 10-6 third quarter lead. In the fourth quarter, Mathews played a 3rd-and-15 snap perfectly, giving up a check down to Theo Johnson and immediately bringing him to the ground for a useless 5-yard gain to force a punt again as OSU clung to the 10-6 advantage.
With starting wide receiver Emeka Egbuka out with an injury, Stover stepped up as Harrison's top sidekick recording four catches on four targets for 70 yards against the Nittany Lions. Stover's key performance pushed his season totals to 27 catches for 429 yards and three touchdowns, all of which rank second on the squad behind Harrison.
On the touchdown drive to make it 20-6 that essentially ended the game, Williams gained two yards on a 3rd-and-2 before Marv's 18-yard catch and run touchdown on 3rd-and-11.
