The Ohio State offense was motoring. A huge score was impending.
And the Penn State defense rose on Saturday and said not today.
Trailing 10-6, the Nittany Lions delivered a classic goal-line stand.
A running play was blown up, setting up a fourth down.
A pass went absolutely nowhere.

Speaking of nowhere, the Penn State offense wasn’t moving and the ensuing drive was no different.
However, an Ohio State player accidentally touched the Penn State punt and the Nittany Lions recovered.
