Penn State and Ohio State met as top 5 teams in one of the best games of the year. The anticipation delivered, as the Lions and Buckeyes played a classic. Here are your takeaways.

1: Role reversal

Unlike just about every game this season, it was Penn State that started out fast. They drove the ball all the way down and scored a field goal, then responded with a pick-six to go up 10-0.

It was, of course, unrealistic to expect the Lions to completely shut down the Buckeyes. Ohio State roared back with two straight touchdown drives to go up 14-10.
