No.1 Ohio State Buckeyes reinforce spot as top dog with win against Penn State
The Associated Press
Ohio State did it with defense.
Linebackers Jerry Rudzinski and Joe Cooper recovered fumbles in the end zone for touchdowns as the top-ranked Buckeyes beat No. 7 Penn State 28-9 Saturday.
Last year, Penn State gained the No.1 ranking with a win against Ohio State at State College, Pa. In the rainy rematch at Columbus, Ohio, the Buckeyes backed up their No.1 ranking with a dominating defensive performance against the Nittany Lions
"We wanted to redeem ourselves from that embarrassment last year." Rudzinski said. "We had the same players back and wanted to step up and show the country."
Ohio State held Penn State to 181 yards, including 79 yards on the ground.
Rudzinski recovered a fumble by Penn State quarterback Kevin Thompson for a touchdown with 3:51 left in the first half. In the third quarter, Percy
King blocked a Penn State punt and Cooper recovered to put Ohio State ahead 21-3.
The Buckeyes' offensive touchdowns came on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Joe Germaine to Michael Wiley just before halftime and Joe Montgomery's 1-yard run with 3:08 left in the third quarter.
Ohio State quarterbacks coach Tim Salem got so excited by Wiley's touchdown that he punched his hand through a window and sent glass shattering into the press box. He suffered small cuts on his right index finger and forearm.
No.2 Nebraska 24, Oklahoma State 17
Nebraska 24, Oklahoma State 7
At Kansas City, Mo., Nebraska's defense stopped Nathan Simmons on the 1-yard line as time ran out to extend the nation's longest major-college winning streak to 19 games.

with an 11-vard pass.
Lindsay then spiked the ball to stop the clock with five seconds left. On the final play, Simmons ran up the middle but was stopped by Mike Rucker and a swarm of defenders.
