No. 15 Ohio St beats No. 11 Penn St, 24-7 (AP)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:39:53 PST

Terrelle Pryor tiptoed his way around the Penn State defense, then smiled and danced all over the Beaver Stadium turf. Quite the happy homecoming Saturday for the dual-threat phenom from western Pennsylvania. Pryor threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in his first game back in his home state and No.

Lost in the hoopla over Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor's trip home to Pennsylvania this weekend is the story of how Penn State found its own signal-caller in the Buckeyes' backyard. Cool in the pocket and confident in the locker room, Youngstown, Ohio-native Daryll Clark has turned into a star with the No.

Two teams, both looking for a signature win, and neither can afford a loss. No. 15 Ohio State travels to No. 11 Penn State in a showdown that may not determine the Big Ten champion but will almost definitely decide who it won't be. "We know how important all these games are," Buckeyes wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said.

For years, Penn State's coaches chased Terrelle Pryor, trying to convince the nation's top recruit of 2008 to play in-state.

Their players will chase him for the second time on Saturday.

Pryor leads his Ohio State Buckeyes into Beaver Stadium at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, and the Nittany Lions know that the key to stopping Ohio State's offense is containing Pryor, who is a threat to make big plays with his arm or his feet.

"Once he gets to the second level he's like a big, big running back," Penn State safety Drew Astorino said. "He can run really well and he can throw the deep ball really well. It's tough to decide whether to come up and tackle him or stay back (to defend the pass)."

Pryor has had his share of struggles this season, completing just 55 percent of...

JoePa vs. Jim Tressel. Daryll Clark vs. Terrelle Pryor. The best defense in the Big Ten against the league's second-best unit. It looks like Saturday's game between No. 11 Penn State and No. 15 Ohio State should be another star-powered, high-stakes slugfest. The winner remains alive in the Big Ten race, in position to pounce should undefeated Iowa falter in the last three weeks of the season.

Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald may tweet and text and be up on all the ways of the world. Yet, he still has that old-school approach to the game he loves. There's the game face, the crew cut and the respect for those who've been coaching long before his short career began. Like Joe Paterno. "Coach Paterno is college football," Fitzgerald said as his Wildcats got ready to meet the...

Penn State defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu didn't know what to do after coach Joe Paterno gave the team a day off. They got a breather after a 25-point road win over Michigan gave No. 12 Penn State its fourth straight victory. While not a direct reward for beating the Wolverines, the confident Nittany Lions (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) got a break Monday to rest up for the final four games of the regular...
