STATE COLLEGE — Tom Bradley barely had time to wipe the sweat off his brow after Penn State's win over Youngstown State when someone asked him about top-ranked Ohio State's stable of offensive weapons.

"I don't know. I'm trying to figure that one out," the Nittany Lions' defensive coordinator said. "They have great people. There isn't any place where you can just focus."

Better come up with something soon — the boys in blue and white are headed to the Horseshoe on Saturday for the Big Ten opener, and the stocked Buckeyes are eager to avenge last year's loss at Beaver Stadium.

At least the Nittany Lions got a confidence boost Saturday after a 37-3 victory against Division I-AA Youngstown State. A bigger, faster defense held the Penguins to 184 yards on the day, including 47 on the ground.

They pushed Youngstown State around on offense with 389 rushing yards, including 143 from Tony Hunt. A defense that was winded two weeks ago by Notre Dame's passing attack stayed fresh against the Penguins.
