Colobuck’s keys from the game:
1) James Franklin, WTF?
2) Will Howard, clean up the mistakes and you will take us far.
3) O-line, that’ll do pig. That’ll do.

Ohio State wins 'crossroads' game at Penn State

Ohio State (7-1, 4-1) kept its hopes alive for a spot in the Big Ten championship game by beating the Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-1) for the eighth straight time.

No. 3 Ohio State rides stifling defense, handles No. 4 Penn State​

Ohio State: This version of the Buckeyes might not be an offensive juggernaut like its predecessors, but Ohio State still has Penn State's number and its physical brand of football could translate well as the postseason nears.

Penn State: James Franklin is now 1-10 against Ohio State, and the latest loss looked an awful lot like the eight that came before it. The Nittany Lions lacked explosive plays and, perhaps more troubling, were bullied up front on their home field.

Poll implications: Expect Ohio State to move up to No. 3 at worst on Sunday. Penn State will likely remain on the fringe of the top 10.

Winner. Yet I will be worried the rest of the way. Buckeyes continue to be their own worst enemy too often. Hope it changes.

Gritty win by the team when a bunch of us were shoveling dirt on the team. This win was. Bittersweet for me and I know mt Dad would have loved it. He passed away yesterday but I know he is up there with Woody praising the last defensive stand and Offense taking PSU’s manhood….
miss you Dad….

Dang. I'm sorry.

This would make Jake happy and sad.

No holding calls, no false starts, no penalties on the OL today. They did a fantastic job and couldn't be prouder!

Terribly sorry to hear that. Going through the same situation, lost mine July 19th.

Telegram, yes. But the Pony Express was out of business before I attended the first Princeton-Rutgers game in 1869.

Well, I say, that was awfully sporting of us to spot them ten points to start off!

Also, PSU is always a great slumpbuster for tOSU.
