Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano spoke with the media Tuesday night, as did quarterback J.T. Barrett, defensive end Sam Hubbard, and wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

Draped in an oversized coat, Barrett grabbed his headset as he took a seat on the bench following a touchdown pass to Johnnie Dixon that cut Ohio State’s deficit to 38-33 with four minutes and 14 seconds showing on the clock. As he was listening to instructions from offensive coordinators…
The Ohio State Buckeyes played one of the worst games played in OSU history against Penn State. For much of the game there was serious concern that the Buckeyes would run out of body parts before the end of the game.
