UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Ohio State staged an improbably fourth quarter comeback in hostile territory on Saturday night to shock Penn State in Happy Valley, 27-26.
The comeback win, which keeps the Buckeyes in control of their own destiny when it comes to the College Football Playoff, sent shockwaves through the college football world. First though, lets look at our own close-up view of our look at the last few plays of the game.
