The Ohio State Buckeyes recorded a big win over their rivals, the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Buckeyes won by a score of 38-14, and their fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to savor the victory.
A fan said, "Jim Knowles dumb asf"•

However, not all the comments were Ohio State-focused.
A fan stated, "Penn State is still a very good football team. I predict they upset Indiana next week at Happy Valley." One added, "Penn State winless streak continues, and their Bowl hopes are in jeopardy." Another chipped in, saying, "Poor Jimmy."A common theme in the post-game celebrations was the banter towards Penn State Nittany Lions defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. Knowles was Ohio State's DC from 2022 to 2024.
However, the veteran defensive coordinator left the Buckeyes shortly after their national championship win. He wasn't on the job market for long as he snagged the vacant Penn State defensive coordinator job.
Knowles lost his first test against his old side. The Buckeyes scored in a variety of ways, and the final result was a testament to the significant quality difference.
Ohio State and Penn State have contrasting targets for the rest of the season
The Ohio State Buckeyes recorded their eighth win of the season with the victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Buckeyes are the No. 1-ranked team in the nation, and they showed it against the Nittany Lions.
Next up for Ryan Day's side is a trip to the Ross-Ade Stadium to face off against the Purdue Boilermakers. They'll fancy their chances against Purdue as they aim for the highest seed possible in the back-to-back championship quest.
The Penn State Nittany Lions must pick themselves up after a thoroughly disappointing game against the Buckeyes. The Nittany Lions looked limited on both sides of the ball, and the gap in quality was evident in the second half.
Next up for Penn State is a showdown against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Nittany Lions need to put together a good run of results to secure bowl game eligibility.
