Ohio State has electric locker room celebration after dramatic win vs. Penn State
Ohio State defeated Penn State 20-13 on Saturday afternoon in a top-5 showdown on the road.
It was an emotional victory for the Buckeyes considering the stakes on several fronts. The win keeps Ohio State in good position to reach the Big Ten title game. It was also a revenge spot for Ohio State quarterback and Pennsylvania native Will Howard, who didn’t receive an offer from the Nittany Lions coming out of high school.
In the postgame locker room, Ohio State coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes clearly enjoyed themselves. Here’s some footage from the scene, via Ohio State:

Ohio State now virtually controls its own destiny in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes have one more top-25 matchup remaining their regular season schedule — against a currently-undefeated Indiana team later this month. Beyond that, Ohio State is expected to be a significant favorite in every game it plays for the rest of the regular season.
It’s also Ohio State’s 8th consecutive victory over Penn State in this series. The Nittany Lions haven’t won against Ohio State since way back in 2016.
Ohio State is set to host Purdue in Week 11.
