Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ten Things We Learned From Ohio State’s 28-17 Win Over Penn State
1. Anything easy ain’t worth a damn.
Imagine in 2002 being so fraught about an 11-point win? Heck, back then, that was a blowout. But I guess as far as difficulties go, this was the grandest so far for the Buckeyes. Granted, I think the Ohio State offense was more responsible for the difficulties than Penn State was, but credit the Nittany Lions for forcing the three turnovers that ground this game to a halt. They weren’t all going to be blowouts, but then what would been the fun of that? What? That still would have been fun to you? Regardless, just about every championship team has a game in the regular season that nearly ruins things for them. I don’t know if an 11-point win classifies as one of those games, but it was still the furthest the Buckeyes have been pushed, and now they’ll be able to use the experience to remain calm in future difficult situations. Any anyway, Ohio State has still led by at least 21 points in every game this season. That’s pretty impressive.
2. Few linebackers in America can do what Pete Werner does.
Just think, about 11 months ago, Jeff Hafley, Greg Mattison, and Larry Johnson sat down to come up with this year’s defense. In order to deal with the variety of offenses on the Ohio State schedule — as well as the varieties of offenses they see from snap to snap, they brought with them the hybrid linebacker/safety position now known as the Bullet. The Bullet was going to be able to handle the spread offenses or the talented pass-catching tight end or the speedier, smaller offenses. Turns out, they didn’t need to create a new position for this, they simply needed to put Pete Werner in the game and leave him alone. As famed inventor Ron Popeil used to say, “Just set it and forget it.” Werner was fantastic on Saturday shadowing tight end Pat Freiermuth and shared the Buckeyes’ Defensive Player of the Game award this week with some guy named Chase Young. He’ll need to be fantastic again against a Michigan team that has a pair of tight ends who can get open down the field.
3. Maybe nobody else in America can do what Shaun Wade does.
Shaun Wade is like an El Camino. Part car, part truck, and all style. Wade would seamlessly go from defending the ultra-quick, ultra-fast 5-foot-9 KJ Hamler in the slot, to matching up with 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end Pat Freiermuth, who is one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the nation. Wade didn’t give up much, and also happened to close out Penn State’s hopes with a PBU on fourth-and-12 on a pass intended for Hamler. Michigan’s most-productive receiver is slot Ronnie Bell. They also happen to throw to the tight ends. Expect Wade to be just as busy next Saturday as he was this past Saturday.
4. Jashon Cornell is underrated.
Jim Tressel would talk often about Buckeyes having their very best seasons in their very last year. Jashon Cornell has certainly done that. He unselfishly moved to defensive end last year for depth purposes, but has been very, very good this year back home at defensive tackle. He showcased his quickness on more than one occasion against Penn State, and should Michigan worry too much about Chase Young on the outside, they will find themselves asking, “Who was that No. 9 that just ran into the backfield?”
5. So is Chase Young.
It is impossible to overrate Chase Young, just so you know. Even calling him human is kind of an insult. Chase Young is what would happen if Clark Kent’s parents had let their son play football.
6. Can’t lose three fumbles and beat Michigan.
Especially when one of those fumbles happens at the goal line. That’s essentially a double turnover because it costs you possession and it removes seven points from the scoreboard. Still, things were going okay for the Buckeyes because there was only so much the Nittany Lions could do on offense. Ryan Day loves his defense and didn’t think Penn State’s offense would be able to do too much. He was right. Penn State didn’t score until starting quarterback Sean Clifford was injured and PSU had to change their offensive approach. It took the Buckeyes a bit to get a fix on Penn State’s offense, but they still only allowed one drive of more than 50 yards in the game and only three that went more than 18 yards. Day is right to trust his defense, and he will likely do it again on Saturday, but the turnovers will hamper every conservative approach.

Ohio State Wide Receiver Taunts Penn State Star After Win
No. 2 Ohio State remained undefeated with a win over now-No. 12 Penn State in Columbus on Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes held off the Nittany Lions, 28-17, to move to 11-0 on the year.
The Buckeyes went up big early and avoided a disastrous collapse in the second half. Ohio State turned the ball over multiple times in the game’s final two quarters, allowing James Franklin’s team to score 17 unanswered points and cut the lead to four.
Penn State started to feel itself a bit in that second half.
Nittany Lions star Lamont Wade had a viral celebration on the bench during the near-comeback:
Ohio State five-star wide receiver Garrett Wilson decided to respond on Twitter on Sunday evening:

That's interesting that the author says Garrett taunts Wade after his emotes in the game.

This was a big win. Penn State is definitely the biggest recruiting threat to Ohio State to the east. Not saying that Ohio State doesn’t recruit that area well already (most recently landing Fleming under the most current circumstances,) but dominating the game after losing more talent to the NFL last year with a first year head coach compared to them having an established Franklin for years now, it’s big.
Side note: wasn’t Lamont Wade just about to bail on them before the season? Big talker, right there. Hope he’s a big eater. Those L’s can be tough to swallow.

Just a reminder how important recruiting is. Not only does it helps your team but it prevents other team's from getting those players as well. Wade accounted for all 3 turnovers and Parsons was in on two. Both may have been Buckeyes if not for other circumstances.

It was interesting that the turnovers mostly involved 5-stars that OSU pursued but eventually scaled back from taking.
In the end, the high school scouting report held up:
Parsons is a monster who would've been a buckeye if not for off the field hiccups.
Wade is an athletic, undersized guy who makes plays but OSU was happy with their guys. A good outcome for both parties.
