Ohio State Beats Penn State to Advance to Big Ten Championship Game

No. 2 Ohio State beat No. 8 Penn State 28–17 on Saturday at a loud Ohio Stadium to clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis.

The Buckeyes improved to 11–0 to win the Big Ten East and hand Penn State its second loss of the season (9–2).

Ohio State looked like it would run away with the game in the first half. After J.K. Dobbins scored a touchdown on the Buckeyes' first possession, quarterback Justin Fields appeared to double the Buckeyes' lead late in the first quarter. However, a review found Fields fumbled at the goal line and Penn State's Cam Brown recovered the ball.
