Pictures of Ohio State football’s statement win over Penn State

Turns out, this Ohio State team might be better than we gave it credit for. After watching the Nittany Lions dismantle pretty much everyone they played, including a curb-stomp of Iowa, many thought this could be the year Penn State slays the Buckeyes at home.

It wasn’t meant to be and it had a lot to do with the OSU defense outshining a Nittany Lion defense many thought was the best unit in this game.

An offer for Buckeyes fans

It was a close contest again, but the Buckeye defense dictated things more often than not and allowed the offense to do just enough behind the chemistry of Kyle McCord and Marvin Harrison Jr. in what ended up being a 20-12 victory for the good guys.

After every game, we like to share some of the best high-resolution pictures our USA TODAY SMG team snapped on site, and those colors going against each other on the banks of the Olentangy made for some pretty good eye candy.

Here are some stunning photos to re-live Ohio State’s victory over Penn State Saturday.
