Ohio State travels west after a 33-24 home win over the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday night. The Buckeyes were undone by 10 penalties and were slow to get their top-flight offense on track against a solid PSU defense. But OSU would eventually get 152 rushing yards from freshman RB TreVeyon Henderson and grind out the two-score victory.
The Cornhuskers suffered its third consecutive setback with a 28-23 home loss to Purdue. Nebraska was held to just six points in the game’s second half. All six of the Huskers’ losses this season — and nine of the program’s last 10 since last fall — have been by one score.
