Penn State’s veteran players feel like they shouldn’t still be chasing their first win over Ohio State.
The Nittany Lions have consistently played Ohio State close for the past seven years, never losing to the Buckeyes by more than 13 points. But they haven’t been able to turn any of those close games into wins, suffering seven straight losses to Ohio State – the longest such streak on either side in series history – since their 24-21 win over the Buckeyes in 2016.
Penn State had a 21-16 lead over Ohio State with nine minutes to play two years ago but ended up suffering a 44-31 loss as the Buckeyes scored 28 fourth-quarter points in Beaver Stadium.
