Ohio State Football: 3 takeaways from comeback win over Penn State

The Buckeyes are players again

Playing in the Big Ten, and being a national brand like they are, it really isn’t too much of a surprise that we find Ohio State back in the talk of reaching the Final Four.

Urban Meyer has gotten his group to focus back on the task of hand after a 31-16 loss to Oklahoma way back in September, rolling through Army, UNLV, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska and now Penn State.

The Buckeyes will head into the final four games of their season as heavy favorites to win out, as they head to Iowa next week before a meeting with Michigan State in East Lansing. They conclude with Illinois, Michigan and the Big Ten Championship game in December.

Meyer seems to always be able to do this, as he has proven time and time again that his coaching abilities are second-to-none. Many wondered after needing a rally to beat Indiana and the loss to Oklahoma the following week if he had lost a step? No, no he has not.
