Ohio State Buckeyes defeat Penn State Nittany Lions 20-12. Marvin Harrison Jr. shines with 100+ yards and a touchdown.

In a thrilling match-up between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. once again proved his skill with a 100-yard receiving game and a touchdown. The Buckeyes emerged victorious with a final score of 20-12.

Although the Nittany Lions had a slight chance, quarterback Drew Allar managed to find Kaden Saunders for a touchdown, giving Penn State their first points of the day. However, their hopes were quickly dashed as they needed to recover an onside kick for one last desperate attempt.

As the game neared its end, Harrison displayed his talent by taking a short pass over the middle and reaching the end zone for his first touchdown of the day. He finished the game with an impressive 162 yards on 11 catches.

The second half saw some action as the Buckeyes scored two explosive plays, but the Penn State defense held strong. Ohio State maintained a one-touchdown lead, and Harrison continued to dominate with over 100 yards in the game.

The third quarter turned into a punt fest, with Ohio State's second drive hindered by two penalties. However, a 70-yard punt pushed Penn State into bad field position, from which they struggled to escape.

Despite a busted coverage that allowed a big completion to Penn State tight end Theo Johnson, the Nittany Lions couldn't capitalize and settled for a field goal.

The first touchdown of the game came from Ohio State's Miyan Williams, who ran it in from two yards out.

Penn State fought back, with running back Nicholas Singleton making two impressive runs to bring the Nittany Lions into the red zone. However, the Buckeye defense held strong and prevented a touchdown.

Ohio State struck first with a field goal after Marvin Harrison Jr. made three catches early in the game. Although their drive stalled, the Buckeyes managed to get on the scoreboard.

This highly anticipated match-up marked the second top 10 matchup for the Buckeyes this year, as they welcomed the seventh-ranked Penn State to Columbus.

Both teams entered the game undefeated, adding to the excitement surrounding the clash.

However, Ohio State faced some uncertainties as running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Emeke Egbuka were questionable due to injuries. Henderson had missed the previous two weeks, while Egbuka suffered a lower leg injury against Maryland two weeks ago. Additionally, cornerback Denzel Burke was ruled out after leaving the previous game against Purdue in the third quarter.

Despite these challenges, the Buckeyes have historically fared well against Penn State, winning nine of their last ten games. This match-up marked the 24th time the two teams faced each other while both were in the top 25.

Overall, the game provided an intense battle between two talented teams, with the Ohio State Buckeyes emerging victorious and continuing their impressive record against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
