Ohio State went on the road to play No. 3 Penn State and got the job done, coming home with a 20-13 victory. It was a win the Buckeyes sorely needed to stay in the thick of the Big Ten and College Football Playoff race.

On the other sideline, the loss by the Nittany Lions was the eighth-straight to OSU and furthered the narrative that head coach James Franklin can’t beat Ohio State and can’t win the big one. Now, both teams sit at 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the league, tied for third place with just four games to play, and just one game out of first place, behind Oregon and Indiana.

After the game, Franklin met with the media in State College to basically face the firing squad of judgement after coming short again but was quick to credit Ohio State.

If you missed any of his comments, we have the entire press conference for your viewing pleasure thanks to Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel. Watch below as Franklin credits Ohio State, laments on losing big games, owns up to falling short again, and more.

After the big win, Ohio State will now focus on preparing to host a Purdue team that has derailed before leaving the station. Game time has yet to be determined but we’ll continue the coverage leading up to the contest this coming weekend.
