Ohio State continued their undefeated season with a commanding 38-14 victory over Penn State, extending their winning streak to 12 games and marking their 23rd consecutive win following a bye week. The Buckeyes showcased a dominant performance both offensively and defensively, holding Penn State to just 55 rushing yards, their lowest of the season, while quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 316 yards and four touchdowns with remarkable efficiency. Receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate excelled with deep receptions, combining for over 240 yards and three touchdowns, highlighting a potent passing attack that overwhelmed Penn State's defense.
