We Are, Going To Kick Your Ass.

Below, you will find the team and individual stats that Ohio State and Penn State have accumulated in the games they have played against each other since 1956. There a few categories that don't have stats from the 1912 tilt.

Want to know the most touchdowns thrown by a Buckeye quarterback in a game against Penn State? Which Nittany Lion has the most touchdown receptions in a game? Hint, they both happened last year and can be found, along with a lot of other superlatives, in the table below.

Here are the stats, and nothing but the stats:
