WISEOne Great Season STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Ohio State's win at Penn State wasn't as shocking as No. 4 Iowa's upset loss to Northwestern 800 miles away, but where the Buckeyes suddenly find themselves now might seem a surprise to some. Visiting OSU muscled its way to a 24-7 defeat of the Nittany Lions in a matchup of the Big Ten's elite, if there could be such a thing this year. In the process, the Buckeyes ripped control of the Big Ten race from Iowa, which saw ...

But the Buckeyes, led by sophomore quarterback Terrelle Pryor, would have none of it, taking care of business on their way to a 24-7 win that looked much easier than even the final 17-point margin would suggest.

The Buckeyes will take a step closer to a game nobody outside of Ohio wants to see them in. Ohio State's destiny is in its own hands. With back-to-back games against Penn State and Iowa, OSU can either clinch a trip to the Rose Bowl or play its way out of a BCS game. The pressure is on Terrelle Pryor, who returns to his native Pennsylvania for the first time since spurning Penn State for The Sweater Vested One. Last season, Pryo...

But there's plenty of time for that down the line -- for now, as long as Pryor remains a turncoat in the Scarlet and Gray, Penn State students are content to mock his tears on commemorative t-shirts for Ohio State's visit to Happy Valley this Saturday: The $10 shirt ...
