  Facing adversity for the first time in more than a month, Ohio State showed off the mettle the Buckeyes believe they'll need to get through the rest of a rugged Big Ten schedule. TreVeyon Henderson ran for 152 yards on a season-high 28 carries and No. 5 Ohio State made just enough long plays and short field goals to hold off No. 20 Penn State 33-24 on Saturday night. The Buckeyes (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) finally finished off the Nittany Lions (5-3, 2-3) on Noah Ruggles' fourth field goal, a 26-yarder with 2:41 left to make it a nine-point lead. Three days before the first College Football Playoff rankings, the Buckeyes like where they stand. "We weren't trying to get style points against Penn State," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. "That's not how it works." Coming off an ugly nine-overtime loss at home to Illinois, Penn State looked more like the team that had climbed into the top five before losing to Iowa in a game where quarterback Sean Clifford was injured. "I thought we were more physical, broke some tackles, made some people miss things like that," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "We've got to continue to build on it." Clifford looked healthy and sharp, going 35 for 52 for 361 yards and a touchdown after a tentative performance last week.

Still, the Nittany Lions lost their third straight to fall out of contention in the Big Ten East. "I feel like I could have done so much more to change the outcome," said Clifford, an Ohio native. "We're being tested right now," he added. Ohio State had hardly been tested since losing to Oregon in Week 2. Against Penn State, the Buckeyes played a lot like they did against the Ducks: struggling to finish drives and get off the field on third down. - Ohio State/AP College Football
