Ohio State's Inability to Run the Ball Nearly Dooms the Buckeyes, but Four Field Goals and a Defensive Score Save the Day

As a wise fellow once put it, "A win's a win in the Ten."

Ohio State will hang their hat on that reality this week after playing "survive and advance" in a 33-24 win against a Penn State team that only allowed the Buckeyes to score a single touchdown in six red zone trips.

The home team was unable to run the ball for massive stretches of the evening, but ultimately the Buckeye offense did just enough – with a big assist from defensive tackle Jerron Cage via a scoop-and-score – to hand the Nittany Lions their third consecutive loss of the season.
