We'll cover the team's issues on offense, the defensive performance from the Nittany Lions, and how Ohio State allowed the Nittany Lions to stick around in the game.

Penn State offense fails to convert

The story of the game for the Penn State Nittany Lions was that they couldn't convert on third down. The team was 0-11 at one point early in the fourth quarter. Penn State had been a methodical offense that stayed ahead of the chains all year. But against Ohio State, that plan melted down.

It was another sub-standard road game for quarterback Drew Allar as well. The sophomore quarterback got off to a rocky start, then the offense failed to protect him, with multiple pressures up the middle that forced throwaways. Allar ended the game under 60% completion percentage on the road for the third time this year.

We'll cover what the Ohio State defense did to stop the Penn State attack in its tracks and force the offense into bad passing situations.

The offense had one final gasp in the middle of the fourth quarter when head coach James Franklin elected to go for it on fourth down just shy of the 50-yard line. Allar was hit by Ohio State defensive end JT Tuimoloau, and the ball fell incomplete. The Buckeyes marched down the field for the nail-in-the-coffin moment.
