Who played how many snaps you ask:
Chambers likely would have played the third-most snaps among linebackers – he actually started the second half over Mitchell at weakside linebacker – if he had not been ejected for targeting on the first play of the third quarter, which will also keep him out for the first half of the Buckeyes’ next game against Nebraska. After his ejection, Ohio State’s linebacker rotation in its base defense was shortened to just three linebackers for the rest of the second half, with Eichenberg mixing in at middle linebacker.

505 - Ronnie Hickman (446 + 59 ST)
505 - Denzel Burke (450 + 55 ST)
490 - Luke Wypler

I have misplaced my pants.
I've seen on the Penn State boards that they're still whining about the snap infraction penalty. Of course, they don't think it should have been a penalty, just a way the referees helped Ohio State out of a turnover. My memory of the play was that the center double-clutched the snap (if that's a thing) and called correctly. But I can't find a replay of the play. Does anyone have a link?

They'll probably be whining and moaning about this too (whether it is actually true or not):

I was looking forward to "Film Study" after that game; that was even better than I anticipated.

Buckeye Defense Comes Up Big When Needed
Offense wins games, defense wins championships. But in some cases, good defense wins big time games.
On Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio State’s offense struggled to overcome Penn State’s top defense. So it was the defense that gave the Buckeyes the edge and allowed them to come away with the 33-24 victory.
“It was good to see our defense play like they did,” head coach Ryan Day said following the game. “We did some good things on offense but the defense won this game in my opinion. I thought they played gritty, they played hard, they got two turnovers. If our defense can play like they did tonight we have a chance to be really good.”
Penn State’s defensive line set the tone early on and Ohio State struggled to move the ball, especially on the ground. Ohio State was forced to punt three times in the first half, couldn’t convert on third downs, finishing the game 5-14, and could only convert in the red zone once out of six attempts.
Though the offense got rolling later on, it was the defense that gave quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Buckeye offense opportunities to stay in the game.
“Some games the offense isn’t going to play the greatest and the defense has to pick it up. Some games the defense isn’t going to play the greatest and the offense has to score some points,” defensive end Zach Harrison said following the game. “This was one of those games where the defense had to make a little more plays.”

Buckeyes outslug Penn State for 33-24 win.
Ryan Day said all week that this would be a tough, four-quarter game.
Nobody believed him.
Prognosticators everywhere had No 5 OSU as a prohibitive favorite in the match up with No. 20 Penn State with the betting line coming in at around 18 points. When the teams squared off under the lights in Ohio Stadium it was Day who proved to be the better prognosticator.
The Penn State defense gave the explosive OSU offense all it wanted, particularly in the first half. The Lions shut down OSU’s running game in that half and dominated on third down, particularly in the red zone, the entire game. The OSU offensive line simply couldn’t move Penn State when it had to. As a result the Buckeyes scored just one touchdown in six trips to the red zone.

You don't see the volume of articles from the O-Zone that you use to see. I think they lost some of their people to another website (i.e. Buckeye Scoop) and haven't replaced them.

“I thought Sean Clifford played his best game of his career,” Herbstreit said. “Then were 11 of 16 on third downs. He stood in there and they showed him a lot of times. The pressure was coming in his face and he was able to make throw after throw to give them a chance.
"At the end of the day, even when Ohio State does not play exceptionally well, they still have the (Chris) Olave, (Garrett) Wilson, (Jaxon) Smith-Njigba, (TreVeyon) Henderson. It's just so hard to contain (their offense) for 60 minutes ... I give Penn State credit. They are still a top-25 team and they have Michigan coming up at home. They still have Michigan State coming up. This still a team that can have a lot of success this year.
"But I think Ohio State got challenged by — remember you and I were talking, and we said the most explosive team in the Big Ten is Ohio State. The most efficient team is Michigan. And the most balanced is Penn State. That was three weeks ago we had that discussion. And Penn State, even with the injuries, showed what they were capable of. But give the Buckeyes credit at home. Got challenge and they ended up winning the game when they did not play their best, obviously.”
