Ohio State vs. Penn State score, takeaways: No. 3 Buckeyes turn in complete effort for win in Happy Valley - CBSSports.com

No. 3 Ohio State passed what might be its biggest test of the regular season Saturday night, beating No. 18 Penn State 38-25. The Buckeyes asserted their dominance early and never looked back.

The Buckeyes started the game with a three-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to take a 7-0 lead. Then, already sensing the urgency of the situation, Penn State coach James Franklin decided to go for it on fourth-and-2 in his own territory on his team's first possession of the game. The Nittany Lions did not convert, and Ohio State responded immediately with another touchdown to go up 14-0. While the score would get a bit closer than that, it never felt like Penn State had a legitimate shot at winning the game from that point.

Justin Fields continued his campaign to remind everybody that Trevor Lawrence isn't the only candidate to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft next spring as he completed 28 of 34 passes for 318 yards and four touchdowns. That means Fields now has scored six total touchdowns in 2020 while throwing only seven incomplete passes through two games.

While Fields was the standout, it was an all-around performance for the Buckeyes. The offense finished with 526 yards, averaging 6.7 yards per play. The defense held Penn State to 325 yards and had five sacks and seven tackles for loss. The Buckeyes also did a great job getting off the field on defense, allowing Penn State to convert only four of its 10 conversion attempts on third and fourth down.

Jahan Dotson was the star of Penn State's offense, catching eight passes for 144 yards and three touchdowns.
