After the win, Buckeye coach Ryan Day spoke about the battle his team just won:
Day: “It was good to get an ugly win like that.”

If there was one question about Ohio State coming into this game, it was about how the Buckeyes would handle adversity. Well, they were forced into adversity very quickly after leading 21-0. The next 17 points went Penn State’s way and momentum was completely with the Nittany Lions.
Ohio State did respond with a touchdown and its defense shutout Penn state the rest of the way.
So, what’s next?
The Game. And Day talked about that as well after the 11-point win:
Ryan Day on his approach to Michigan: “We live it every day. The Team Up North is something we talk about every day.”

Every day, Michigan gets brought up. That’s the game that matters.
And, it’s only one week away.
