Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, rightfully, got most of the credit in the aftermath of the Buckeyes’ come-from-behind, 39-38 win over Penn State on Saturday. But if you really want to know what happened, the Nittany Lions’ final four offensive snaps will tell you.
First-and-10, ball at the PSU 41: After a botched squib kick gives Penn State field position, Trace McSorley takes the shotgun snap. Two Lions blockers engage on Nick Bosa, leaving fellow rushers Jalyn Holmes, Sam Hubbard and Tyquan Lewis singled. It turns into a race to the quarterback. McSorley runs right, and throws to a covered Saquon Barkley in the flat.
