Former Penn State great Ki-Jana Carter was on hand for the game along the Nittany Lion sideline
The fans did their part, filling the stadium with Scarlet. We were ready to celebrate a touchdown that never came.
Penn State 13 Ohio State 6
VS
I don't know if the better team won, but the team that played better won. As a fan, I just keep hoping that some day we play to our full potential and see the offense we believe we are capable of being. The loss takes us out of the running for the National Championship, but a BCS bowl game is still possible. Let's just get back on a winning track and finish the season strong. We can still be 10-2, with a win over Michigan and possible rematch with USC in the Rose Bowl.

Chris 'Beanie' Wells(28) works up the crowd as he heads to the locker room after warm-ups
Terrelle Pryor(2) shares a few words with Chimdi Chekwa(5) just before the opening kick-off
Some are questioning the throwing motion of Pryor but
for the most part he is getting the ball there
Coach Tressel knew what was on the line in this classic Big Ten matchup, and knew only one team would leave a winner
For much of the night, the pass protection was there, so we should have taken advantage of that and called more pass plays. Conversely, the Lions were stacking up for the run and were successful all night long
The numbers for Hartline(9) and Robiskie(80) are down this year but you have to get open to get the receptions
Dane Sanzenbacher(12) is back from his head injuries and had some very key catches for the Buckeyes
What is a game with Penn State without their own version of blocking technique, oh for the days of tear-away jerseys
Last year AJ Trapasso(15) didn't have any punts, this year
he was working overtime
Daryll Clark(17) had a rough game and was eventually knocked from the game
Thaddeus Gibson(90) continues to show solid progress and is a key ingredient in the resurgent defense
As always, the cheerleaders lift the crowd each and every game, keeping team spirit high
You know .... there are some days when I think even this line could get through our offensive line
Beanie did not look as happy walking off the field at halftime as he did after warmups
