Ohio State held off Penn State 33-24 on Saturday for another big win.

The offense continued to roll along, as C.J. Stroud passed for 305 yards and a touchdown, while Treveyon Henderson added 152 yards and a score on the ground.

The big improvements have been on defense, as a talented Penn State offense was held to just 24 points and the Buckeyes forced Sean Clifford into two costly turnovers. The run defense was fantastic, giving up just 33 yards, although some of that is just on Penn State’s inability to run.

This team looks like the team that many expected when they were a preseason championship pick by a lot of experts. Nebraska will try to upset the Buckeyes this Saturday.
