The Buckeyes held Penn State's offense out of the end zone, twice turning the Nittany Lions away from deep in Ohio State territory.
Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka catches a touchdown pass in front of Penn State linebacker Tony Rojas during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, in State College, Pa. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Will Howard threw for 182 yards and two touchdowns and No. 4 Ohio State's defense made a late defensive stand to lift the Buckeyes over No. 3 Penn State 20-13 on Saturday.
While Howard wasn't perfect by any stretch — he threw a pick-6 on his first pass and later fumbled as he was crossing the goalline for what would have been a touchdown — he connected on first-half scoring passes to Emeka Egbuka and Brandon Inniss and Ohio State's defense did the rest. Penn State had a first-and-goal from the Ohio State 3 midway through the fourth quarter but three runs up the middle went nowhere and Drew Allar threw incomplete on fourth-and-goal from the 1 with 5:13 to go.
