Penn State gets revenge against Ohio State with ridiculous buzzer-beating bank shot
In the last two college football seasons, you won't find a better pair of games than the ones between Ohio State and Penn State. In 2016, it was Penn State who won on home turf with an incredible blocked field goal kick-six. A season later, Ohio State ripped the Nittany Lions' hearts out, coming back from 15 points to win in Columbus. On Thursday night, Penn State got their revenge in a big way on the basketball court with a finish that was better than either of the endings on the gridiron.
Much like this past fall's pigskin battle between the Big 10 foes, Penn State had a huge lead in the second half on the hardwood, up by as many as 13 points with under eight minutes to play. The Buckeyes closed that deficit to three with 15 seconds left, and then chaos ensued:
The bank! Open late on Thursdays! What an absolute DAGGER. Buckeyes fans went from celebrating their team forcing OT to surrender cobra faster than a Ted Ginn, Jr. 40-yard dash in his prime. Huge win on the road for Penn State, against a No. 13 ranked Ohio State team that had won 13 of its last 14. Revenge... a dish best served "at the buzzer!!! ON THE ROOOOOAD!" (great call by the way, whoever that announcer is).
