Saturday night’s game between the unranked Penn State Nittany Lions and the nationally ranked No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes was special. Not only did the Lions erase a 21-7 second half deficit, but they came all the way back to upset the Buckeyes by a score of 24-21. Here’s the blocked field goal that put them on top to stay.
Happy Valley celebrated.
In the newest AP poll, Penn State is now ranked 24th in the country.
