Game of the Week
OHIO STATE 44 vs PENN STATE 31
The score doesn’t exactly show what happened here. Penn State was in control for much of the game and it was looking like it may turn into the upset of the week. In the 4th Quarter when Penn State was driving, Ohio State caused a strip sack that put the game out of reach as Ohio State would then score and had all the momentum going their way.
Ohio State (8-0) and Michigan (8-0) are the leaders of the Big 10 East are still undefeated and after both teams have beat Penn State (6-2) in back-to-back weeks. There’s no telling who the better team is, and the division is trending towards a big matchup in the final weekend of the regular season between the two rivals.

The CUP SERIES continued this weekend in Martinsville, Virginia taking place at the Martinsville Speedway featuring the Xfinity 500 on Sunday afternoon. Christopher Bell who led most of the day, decided to pit for new tires when a yellow flag came out with 34 laps to go in the race which allowed Chase Briscoe to take the lead when he decided against getting new tires for the final run down the stretch.
Coming out of the yellow flag with 24 laps remaining, Bell had dropped 4 spots and Briscoe continued with the lead. Briscoe in the #14 car fought to remain in the lead for another 19 laps while Bell and his new tires crept up and bumped him to move inside and overtake the field with 3 laps to go. To secure a spot in the Championship 4, Bell and his #20 car had to take the checkered flag on Sunday for a shot at the Cup, exactly what he did. Martinsville was his 3rd victory on the season.
Ross Chastain had an unbelievable final lap on Sunday which propelled him to the final spot in the Championship 4. He rode the rail and outpaced everyone to secure his place next week. It's worth looking up if you have a minute. FINAL LAP
