STATE COLLEGE — Joey Bosa’s Ohio State’s teammates had to tell the defensive tackle that he’d just finished off Penn State with a sack in the second overtime.

The sack on a fourth-and-5 play gave the No. 13 Buckeyes a 31-24 victory Saturday night.

Bosa was the last to know.

“I was so tired I didn’t even know it was a sack,” said Bosa, who 2 1/2 sacks and finished with six tackles. “The guys started hugging me and I just went to the ground. This might have been a double-overtime win, but it doesn’t make it any less important, winning in a crazy environment like this.”

Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett had two touchdown runs in overtime after Penn State overcame a 17-0 deficit to tie it.

“There are no moral victories at Penn State,” Nittany Lions coach James Franklin said. “There never will be.”

The Buckeyes (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) built a 17-0 lead and were cruising when Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel intercepted Barrett’s pass and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Christian Hackenberg threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Saeed Blacknall early in the fourth, and Penn State (4-3, 1-3) tied it on Sam Ficken’s 31-yard field goal with 9 seconds left.

“It comes down to execution,” Hackenberg said. “Consistently, we executed better in the second half. There’s still a little bit of inconsistency there. I think we picked that up and that allowed us to get things going,” he said.

Hackenberg finished 31 of 49 for 224 yards and a touchdown.

In the first overtime, Penn State tailback Bill Belton took a direct snap from the Wildcat formation and scored on a 1-yard run. The Buckeyes countered when Barrett carried two straight times, the first for 17 yards and the second 5 yards for a touchdown.
