![]() The freshman reels in the ball for a 36-yard gain and then takes a nasty shoulder-to-helmet hit from Isaiah Pryor while in a defenseless position. But McSorley buys just enough time to lob a ball to an open Hamler downfield. Borland sacks McSorley, and just like that, it’s third-and-long again. 12:22Īnother McSorley scramble gains 10 yards to start the drive - he’s got 111 rushing yards tonight, 120 without sacks - then Sanders is corralled for two yards. On fourth-and-a-foot from the PSU 48, Penn State blows up both Dobbins (who doesn’t get the ball) and Haskins (who does). Two Dobbins carries gain just four yards, then a pass to Campbell over the middle gains 5.5 yards. With the crowd super-loud again, Ohio State quiets them briefly with an 18-yard end around to Campbell. The two-point conversion attempt fails, but PSU’s up 12. What a physical drive from the Nittany Lions (mostly McSorley) there. But no worries: Sanders rides a host of blockers into the end zone on the next play. It’s called a touchdown but called back after replay review. McSorley explodes up the middle once more and plows through a tackle to about the one-foot line. The left side opens up, and he runs behind Johnson on the perimeter for 19 to the OSU 13. On third-and-11, with PSU not yet in field goal range, it’s another QB draw, and it works. McSorley loses one on a keeper, then lobs a ball to Johnson down the left sideline. McSorley starts PSU’s drive with a nice play, stepping up into the pocket like he’s going to scramble again and then hitting Hippenhammer for 21 yards to the Buckeye 31. S1cVAFAiO5- Harrison Klopp September 30, 2018 Haskins fires high to him, but he reels it in, shakes his defender loose, then weaves through five more defenders for a 47-yard score.īinjimen victor. After a couple of short passes, Haskins goes deep to Austin Mack and draws a pass interference penalty. Still not in field goal range, PSU takes a delay of game penalty and sends out Gillikin, whose punt is downed at the 4. On third-and-6, McSorley avoids pressure but can’t connect with Hippenhammer. McSorley, going for the jugular, gets penalized for an illegal forward pass, then bulls up the middle again for nine yards to the 37. Another McSorley carry gains nothing but nets another 15 yards on a face mask penalty. He sends everyone deep and scrambles for 13 yards - that’s 18 non-sack carries for 174 yards - and OSU’s Dre’Mont Jones limps off the field. Somehow, Ohio State still isn’t shadowing McSorley. Still, the Buckeyes looked dead in the water, then drove 171 yards and scored twice in 11 plays to take the lead. The two-point conversion is a disaster: Ohio State calls timeout after a delay of game penalty, then throws an incomplete pass. He takes a great block, makes one guy miss, and struts 24 yards for the go-ahead score. It’s third-and-5 as the clock ticks toward two minutes, and Haskins fires quickly to Hill on the right sideline. Haskins can’t hit Campbell on a crossing route, then Dobbins gains five yards. ![]() OSU’s inside the 30, and PSU looks gassed. Then Campbell takes a screen and bounces around for another 14 yards. Haskins throws incomplete between two receivers, but on third-and-3, Weber goes off right tackle for 11 yards to the PSU 43. Then Dobbins plows up the middle for seven yards. Penn State doesn’t go for an all-out blitz, but a screen to Dobbins is so well-blocked that it still gains 35 yards. Massively underwhelming play-call, and Ohio State’s gonna win. Fourth-and-5 from the OSU 43: WHAT? RPO hand-off to Sanders, and he gets stuffed.And then Penn State calls another timeout. Third-and-14 from the PSU 48: McSorley gains nine yards on a keeper, and PSU calls timeout with 1:22 left.Second-and-14 from the PSU 48: McSorley goes deep to Polk, who can’t bring it in.First-and-10 from the OSU 48: Young sacks McSorley for a loss of four, nearly grabbing the face mask but avoiding it.First-and-10 from the PSU 25: McSorley finds Freiermuth for 27 yards up the seam.1:16Ī year ago, Penn State blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead, and Trace McSorley couldn’t save the day. Ohio State kneels out the game, and that’s that. But with the game on the line, the Buckeyes leaned on a brilliant receiving corps and blocked perfectly, and PSU called an RPO on fourth-and-5. ![]() Penn State controlled the entire game, out-gaining the Buckeyes by 103 yards and rendering them almost entirely inefficient until the final two drives. OSU’s JK Dobbins and Mike Weber: 26 carries for 108 yards, three catches for 66 yards and a TD.PSU’s Miles Sanders: 16 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown, two catches for two yards. ![]() OSU’s Dwayne Haskins: 22-for-39 passing for 270 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.PSU’s Trace McSorley: 16-for-32 passing for 286 yards, two touchdowns 21 non-sack carries for 193 yards.
