In a game that saw Will Howard rise to the occasion, the Ohio State quarterback delivered a memorable performance that can only be described as sweet revenge against Penn State. After a tough loss in their previous matchup, Howard came prepared, showcasing his skill and resilience on the field to secure a hard-fought 20-12 victory for the Buckeyes.
Howard’s poise in the pocket and ability to connect on crucial passes allowed Ohio State to break through a resilient Penn State defense. His connection with standout receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who finished with 162 receiving yards and a touchdown, proved to be the difference-maker in a low-scoring contest.
The Buckeyes’ defense also stepped up, constantly pressuring Penn State’s quarterback and holding the Nittany Lions to one of sixteen third-down conversions, which limited Penn State’s scoring opportunities and secured the win. Howard’s performance not only helped Ohio State remain undefeated but also served as a personal redemption, adding a sweet note to a critical Big Ten victory.
