play guys and the starting quarterback Kevin Thompson the senior from Gaithersburg Maryland we will see Rashard Casey as this game progresses Eric makuu did not start last week because he too missed a class so both these teams benched those starters for a series and stayed a winner against Iowa Mike who goes out to the flank [Music] footrace first down smashed out of bounds but not until he reached the 41 yard line to see how they're gonna follow it if Clemens goes with [Applause] at the six your mind whether Ohio State defense won that way coming back cherry berry misses the tackle in the hole the Watts James Scott he's chasing the second fastest man for Penn State Thompson is the motion white out Mike's Emily the junior from Allentown Pennsylvania puts the Nittany Lions on the board what a great throw by Kevin Thompson he had pressure in its face coming right at you here Kevin Thompson fakes off tackle guy right in his face rosin hits Sarah melian those full backs propensity for into if he gets it instead it is going to be Randall [Applause] is the young man South Carolina Courtney brown ladies and gentlemen watch him he is so talented Donna sorry steps it off complete first down had to get rid of it in a hurry and he did kevin houser now for the Nittany Lions but the Buckeyes trying to run a snappy offense here there is the set Bob Jones steps in for the injured David fly shower and the linebackers they don't get any better than this trio Arrington Brandon short the leader and Mac Morrison the first player Joe Paterno ever half in the state of Washington defensive backfield sorry Adam steps in his first start he replaces James Boyd out of the doghouse bellisari boys hard right and Penn State pounces on it and the man we told you about Courtney brown comes up huge they have got to get us number 86 takes on the tight end takes on the pullback take time the running back takes on the tight end takes on the quarterback causes the fumble it's pretty good it's thinking about defensive players for the high is third down Chompy fields will pass the slot to the light snap back outside trumpet and a great drill hit over there 39-yard attempt performing another blocks he'll go for the bucket in the Ohio State offense do anything nothing going Kennedy Jimmy Kennedy's 16 homes being used in wide reciever Paulo sorry can't pick anybody up and now he does what he does as well as any quarterback in the country [Applause] okay in completeness play Sperry Adam started for him but boy comes in watch this throw here come boy Bank I think he had that tangible on that side bellisari scrambles away from curtly science [Applause] he's got it what a good-looking tick that was by Stults and the guys Kevin Thompson [Applause] and Eric makuu said in the eye and now they go to that one back formation which they like with Harris and they use Makua that's the water dachshund pulls back drop it over the spinning they cannot stop Eric McCune bring him in motion use these back to central wide receivers going to go long downfield or Drummond hold on limits in pursuit for the Bucks here's the throat the other angle we should be able to see this what is he doing with his left arm actually 38-yard attempt on the right hash no clock this time Penn State regains its seven-point lead 10 to 3 the art one which led to a Buckeye field goal this time via pull straight back let's go sailor and here it's taking off with his legs just like Gary said great block he gets [Music] protection fires wide-open darkness comes down in motion here is brightly into the Harringtons over on his side bellisari at the shotgun McCune [Applause] today at this time can we do but not before makuu made it heat up for Ohio State nobody rotten ran the ball against them a year ago and this year they can't see it stop anybody from running the ball you know Penn State watch this first down at 15 like a concentration five here's the handoff first down and ten [Applause] and someone joins Diggs who is on the blitz that time can bellisari and the Bucks do anything with it [Applause] and now arrington is accepting the dicks challenge someone you can bet on that sideline says listen Nile thinks has come to play wind rule number 11 show up and the way they show up your star players bring up one-on-one Lavar does the leap a kind of a hurdle or a leapfrog whatever you want to call it then you're not going to run away from that down the Lavar leap ladies and gentlemen Illinois will never forget it and neither was the fella sorry [Applause] beside that Lee needs a big play the scramble throws downfield and the receiver took the clock good the automatic first down Rambo to the DP but in the officials mind the contact was not to draw the flag a great play that they learned to make because partner tires match the pecans on that previous play locked at no time as has come to the dance ladies and gentlemen nothing and the Buckeyes are forced to cut sullivo aerated 6-3 242 pounds a junior out of Pittsburgh how good an athlete is Lavar Arrington a 40 inch vertical leap one of the best on the Penn State team timeout back in at quarterback policy the Jones returned those pants and he decides that's a tasty time and here [Applause] to the 32-yard they have not been able to run the ball consistently on any one great block on digs that time number 74 gets the block jordan Caruso gets it and look it into the second motion [Applause] in the coalfields of western Pennsylvania Buckeye plenty of days here cut to safety blitz oh now this there down - Harris said the Buckeyes ready so now a 39 yard attempt for Ronnie and this one's on the money [Applause] Twinkies continue to bring LaVon they are again second down and seven venison slipstream then Graham on the linebacker right here yes he does and he takes him on pretty well but latch Arrington will come off the block and pressure bellisari and then from the outside crepitus comes in and cleans it up old acquaintance switches to the left side to come again against a shotgun [Applause] makuu slips believes he's ready to leave t JC short drop got makuu just getting his start going without a huddle blitz Clement pick up on the Blitz the Blitz this guy [Applause] tiny in sack by Courtland to the ball 11 guys on the line of scrimmage the putter gets it off [Applause] inside the 5-yard line I'm not sure that you shouldn't have one man back there - fair catch that interesting if Arrington 10 nano you got to make it work it's not bad at first on the curtain it's very dangerous Ohio State is survived exactly and Penn State's lead is down to three remember Joe puck came in here a double-digit favor very unusual in this why Lauren John Cooper the Buckeyes have enjoyed great the big question is of course the physical condition of Penn State quarterback Kevin Thompson who was shaken up on that blitz by Niall Diggs and Lynn Swann what are we here now about number 60 Kevin Thompson [Applause] Travon Compton has an injured right shoulder and is probably not coming back into this ball game I did have a chance to run into his mother she was able to get to the head trainer and he informed her just what that injury was also John Cooper said he attended try run the ball boy nobody can stop the Blitz but he thinks if he can run he can sell his offense down well let's see if they can run right here bellisari wiley cuts through the hole bounces off Kennedy the shotgun look for Bella sorry they moved the pocket they sprinted he throws high and completely fees with her first-half stats Gary oh it's kind of miserable for Ohio State look at this 33 yards their wide receivers have one catch from their wide receiver that's miserable total yards 71 Penn State moving the ball up and down the field they just can't put it in the end Sara Melia makuu or in the backfield and here comes Jericho [Applause] here's third down Casey split back formation Casey [Applause] three step drop got Brian Johnson inside the 25 right at the spot there in the freshman from Baltimore [Applause] Mike cerebelli the junior from Allentown verge as he gets more and more opportunities and more and more snaps he's just too gifted an athlete [Applause] in the backfield for the Nittany Lions first down and goal Luke the full-back gives it an extra blocker Casey got it on the touchdown showing you what he does best that's why he's the electric one time on now the shotgun up the middle flushed out again by cocaine and then the outside is Justin crepitus the defensive it'll be a cleanup man in this situation coming through hard are the grams and the Arrington's and waiting [Music] under pressure he gets off some burgers any at the 37-yard line Mittal wants a block and first out at 10:00 for the Nittany Lions he'll hand it off the hurry [Applause] and saved the touchdown whose speed is too much watch Jason that he's playing where the big cat played last year can't make the tackle talent makes a big difference in the ski right Brent and then you're on the same screen you know a decision to go down Casey steps away from pulling on the Blitz moves with that and it's 4th down inside the five yard [Applause] another block field goal that is two blocks Nate Clements number 20 crushed that one a narrative pursuit at the 13 yard line it's red sky run because remember Bella saris at 4:05 guy here comes Arrington he's four five two but six five a toy bellisari back to the middle [Applause] a slick interception by James Boyd the junior from chess Whiteside plan to pass another seven step drop a wheel deep drop throws it Gamble's too much to a double covered guy who'll lead coming up from Salvage now on second out of his leg on the field [Applause] [Applause] drops it off to the crew [Applause] makuu you know Joe Paterno's on the sidelines talking the friendly gantter and he's saying all right we're getting called to the fourth quarter I want to keep my god fresh one of the things that Joe always like to buy the third string quarterback took off this is the 28th yarder they get to get another one got this one morning nails the field goal and now the lead is 13 [Applause] the most part I like the college [Applause] while now so he's got a hurry copay cuz he gets away from me [Applause] shorts coming steps away from it nope nope first out defense hole Jimmy Kennedy from Gary mentioned the redshirt freshman from Yonkers bellisari a one-hand play fake going to goal at bo-zone Rambo can't get his hands on it because of the play by Anthony King bellisari at the 46 [Applause] the sophomore from pitch-black football let you do so first down here at Happy Valley here comes steps lively for paterno down to the 36 I'm trying word for that the BCS Championship game here comes the boom stretching out the defense bosses midfield container of the game just more of the same stretch plate of the outside the so hyoe state defense continues to be on the field the quickness of the Penn State offense and makuu has got a few breathers [Applause] plummets edit bounce and it's going to be down by Boyd right [Applause] middle who came back for his senior year Venice selected rocks hit it belugas sub in that Arrington it was a great play that wasn't a bad play Belisarius going to decide he rather run out on kickoffs than play quarterback Carolina State [Applause]

no surprise Niall digs for Ohio State and Eric makuu of Penn State McCune with 214 yards rushing Joe Paterno that's another W to his legendary career dashes off looking for John Cooper Brandon in the short the ringleader of that defensive unit Lynn Swann take it away congratulations you you tied Amos Alonzo Stagg career record for wins I wasn't thinking about I know you never think I know you never think about those things Joe but this man had been might have been the best defensive game your team's played this year they were we just wasted so many opportunities we didn't do a very good job we got in the red zone but overall I thought we played really well field goal blocks a push you know that's bad things but Kevin Thompson goes down Rashard Casey goes in did you change anything for him with that but they were blitzing us a little differently with Casey and then and they were with Thompson they was more on the outside which is so we had to cut some things out that ordinarily Casey would have coach thank you very much thanks Penn State 23 Ohio State 10-4 gary Danielson Lynn Swann I bribe us Berger stay tuned for the thrifty carbonyl
