Hope the team won't be wound as tight as you are. We all know crazy things can happen in rivalry games, especially combined with bad weather. The good thing is we are better than them in every single facet of the game. Try remembering that too

Relax I picked them to cover even if -2 in turnovers. Just a little concerned with Fields hand and leg and Never playing scUM.

Coach, I was fine with all of the decisions to go for it on 4th down, even the last one. A FG block was something that could've changed the outcome. But so was a strip sack, and Justin was lucky to retain that ball. And as far as eating the clock, the run-vs-pass decision doesn't factor in much on fourth down, because a change of possession stops the clock. Which is another reason why Justin should have just thrown that away, or thrown it up for grabs deep. The only way to keep eating clock is to pick up the first down, getting tackled in bounds doesn't help on 4th down.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
That's what I was thinking, (if we couldn't catch it) maybe Penn State would be dumb enough to intercept it at the 1 yard line. Like you said "it was 4th down", if we don't get a 1st down it's Penn State's ball anyway. Anyway when the pass protection broke down, he should have just immediately tossed it towards a receiver downfield and not taken a hit. There was just over 2 minutes to go, Penn State was out of TOs, and we were up by 2 scores, etc.

Head Coach
Ohio State Postgame — Ryan Day Updates Following 28-17 Win Over Penn State
+ “There was a point in the game there where we were taking shots.” So he brought the entire team together and talked to them about not being afraid to take punches. The Buckeyes responded after they stopped giving the ball away. “We were reeling right there and we had to respond, and we did.”
+ This was about what he expected from beginning to end. Penn State battled. Proud of the way the Buckeyes fought and overcame.
+ The decision to throw the ball at the end on fourth down? Running the ball there doesn’t eat the clock. Justin Fields tried to make a play, but took a hit.
+ Got a bunch of false starts due to the fans and that was a factor for the Ohio State defense.
+ Going for the fourth downs in the first half, Day felt like they were rolling pretty well and those are the times to be aggressive. With this offense, they should pick those up.
+ Not gonna sit around and think about winning the Big Ten East too much, but it’s a tribute to the seniors.
+ “How about Justin Hilliard? He had the play of the game with that interception.”
+ Justin Fields is fine. “He’s a warrior, I’m telling you right now.” Fields knew he was going to be leaned on. “Whatever it takes, Coach.”
+ The adversity today will absolutely help this team down the road. It shows you that if they take care of the ball, who knows what this game could have looked like. “This is something that we have to learn from. That could have cost us the whole season.”
+ When you blow everybody out, you still know your team, but you don’t know how they’ll react when the season is on the line. He knows today how this team will react in those situations. “If you just keep swinging.”
+ “I just think Chase Young deserves to be in New York.” The impact he has on the game is unbelievable.
+ Michigan game? “We live it every day.” They will enjoy this one, but quickly they will transition to Michigan.
+ He tries not to second guess when he makes a call like going for it on fourth down.
+ Hadn’t really shown the QB draw in the empty set like they were today.
+ They ran the ball to eat up clock and get first downs. Things were getting hectic and there was a rhythm. The defense was playing well for the Buckeyes, so he didn’t want to get too risky.
+ Penn State has a very good run defense, so you have to run the quarterback to equate the numbers. For the most part, Fields was reading somebody and his read was to pull the ball.
+ KJ Hill and Chris Olave had huge plays for touchdowns. Justin Fields threw two good balls. Those were clutch throws and nice catches.
+ It’s hard to put into words what the fifth-year seniors have provided to this team. Look at Justin Hilliard and Jashon Cornell today. Unbelievable plays by both of those guys to stop drives.
+ You don’t have to worry about the fifth-year seniors. They are mature. “I love having those guys around.”
+ Will Levis is a stronger runner, but the PSU offense started feeing off of the mistakes by Ohio State.
+ Can’t give enough credit to the defensive staff. “The scheme is off the charts.”
+ What does a close game mean for the future. “I think you have their (the players’) attention now.”

OHIO STATE-PENN STATE WAS FOX'S HIGHEST RATED COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR
Ohio State football remains a massive television draw.
The Buckeyes' game 11-point win against Penn State was FOX's highest rated college football game of the year, garnering a 6.3 rating. It was also the top-rated event of the day across television.
Columbus was the highest rated local market, with a 44.9 rating. Cleveland, with a 24.4 rating, was the second-highest rated market.
This, once again, showed that FOX's focus on the noon kickoff window has been working as planned. The Buckeyes have already had five games shown on FOX kick off at noon this season, and they're not finished with the time.
Ohio State's game versus Michigan in six days figures to challenge the mark set on Saturday. That will be shown on FOX, too

The Grumpy Old Buckeye: Ohio State vs. Penn State
It was a game that was much closer than it should have been, so it was the perfect postgame for me to walk out on my lawn in my bathrobe and slippers and start shaking my fist at passersby. Ohio State controlled the game against Penn State except when the Buckeyes decided to roll the ball on the ground for fun or call plays everyone knew was coming but they tried them anyway. It was a head-scratching game with uncharacteristic turnovers and play calling but in the end, Ohio State won by two scores in a series that’s been razor thin in terms of victory margin in recent years.
Let’s see what really got my blood boiling in a 28-17 win over Penn State.
Haubeil’s Opening Kickoff
It didn’t take long to get my dander up. Blake Haubeil has — either by design or failure to execute — left a lot of kickoffs short this year. His opening kickoff was particularly short, which set up Penn State in excellent field position to start the game. The Nittany Lions started at their 40. The Buckeyes eventually stopped the drive but then had to go more than 90 yards as a result. It’s nice that they could do it, but a better kickoff would have reduced the level of difficulty.
The Fields Fumble
Ohio State was about to take a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter when Justin Fields lost the football going into the end zone. It wasn’t the first time this season Fields has lost the ball while going in, but this time he lost it before the goal line and it was a turnover instead of a score. It also wrecked a great defensive stand that got the offense the ball in Penn State territory. The stop gave life to Penn State, which then moved the ball down the field on the OSU defense before stalling and punting in plus territory to flip the field.
Munford’s Very Bad Drive
Tackle Thayer Munford cost his team dearly early in the second quarter and stopped a promising drive. A big run by J.K. Dobbins earned a first down but Munford was whistled for what looked to be a pretty weak holding call. Honestly I’m more angry with the call considering what Chase Young had to put up with all day. But Munford then got beat to allow a sack on the next play. When you stack those two errors (OK, an error and a borderline malpractice suit against the officials) with him being blown up twice on run plays for negative yardage earlier in the half, it was not the best we’ve seen from Munford in 2019.
Drue Chrisman: Still Broken?
Wisconsin obviously needs to start paying rent to live in Drue Chrisman’s head. The previously brilliant punter has been average to poor ever since seeing his boot blocked in the third quarter of that game. His first opportunity to pin Penn State deep in its own territory sailed into the end zone. Downing the ball inside the 20, previously a specialty of Chrisman, has been almost non-existent since the Wisconsin block. However, maybe there were signs of him coming out of that, as he downed his next two punts inside the 20 and finished with a 43-yard average. Let the turnaround begin.
Teague’s Trials and Tribulations
Master Teague got a series in the second quarter and it went poorly. On first down, he carried wide and appeared to stumble on the turf and lost yardage. Before the next snap, Teague committed a false start while lined up wide and that was it for his first half. Teague has been a great player for the Buckeyes this season and maybe he was a bit too amped up in such a big game. He did later have a nice run for a first down when Ohio State was trying to run out the clock.
Final Drive of the First Half
Ohio State botched a chance for points late in the first half with numerous mistakes in plus territory on the final drive of the second quarter. Fields did well to avoid the pass rush but then floated his pass for Chris Olave, who failed to make a catch he normally makes — despite the defender hitting him just before the ball arrived on an uncalled pass interference that was caused by the floating pass. Branden Bowen then got flagged for an illegal formation. Fields then tried an interior scramble to avoid the pass rush rather than getting outside where acres of open space awaited. To make matters worse, he had a wide open receiver on a crossing route that he didn’t see just before he tried scrambling. With the Buckeyes getting the first possession of the second half, Ryan Day opted not to try a Hail Mary play on third and extremely long. I mean…you’ve got Olave, Ben Victor, and Garrett Wilson.
Terrible Tackling Returns
Ohio State’s defense tackled poorly on the first Penn State drive of the third quarter. Malik Harrison could have stopped Journey Brown for a loss but instead gave up a chunk run. Then Brown shrugged off multiple Buckeyes to score a touchdown to cap the drive. It’s not the kind of tackling we’re accustomed to from Ohio State’s defenders, especially fresh out of the locker room. And then things got worse.
