The largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history had seen enough, even before all hope had been extinguished. Rivers of white shirts flowed to the exits, as the vast majority of the 111,030 fans felt the familiar sting of scarlet-and-gray defeat sink in. The Ohio State Buckeyes were punching the ball downfield, running out the clock, doing what they always do against the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Winning.
