The Ohio State Buckeyes went into Happy Valley and played the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions in front of a record crowd at Beaver Stadium.
Over 111,000 filled the stadium just to see the home team lose. The Buckeyes came out on top, and Urban Meyer is ready to call it “one of the most impressive wins” for Ryan Day at Ohio State.

He’s not wrong either, and it was a great win for Ohio State. It was quite the praise from the Ohio State coaching legend.
The Buckeyes looked absolutely dominant on the defensive side of the ball, allowing just six points as the Penn State lone touchdown was an interception return for six in the first quarter.
Ohio State didn’t allow more than 50 rushing yards to any single rusher and held the Nittany Lions to just 150 passing yards. It was an impressive effort for arguably the best defense in the nation.
Will Howard didn’t have his best performance, but he did end with 182 yards and two touchdowns, rebounding well after a disappointing first drive. Quinshon Judkins also deserves a mention as the star running back went for 95 rushing yards on just 14 carries.
