Keith Groller recaps the Big 33 game in Hershey:

"HERSHEY, Pa. -- A year ago, Ohio pounded Pennsylvania by 36 points in the Big 33 Classic, but what happened Saturday night at HersheyPark Stadium may have hurt the Keystone State even more.

Ohio rallied from a 14-point deficit with two fourth-quarter scores within a span of 17 seconds and then went on post a 24-21 overtime victory in the 55th Big 33 Classic before a crowd of about 6,000.

The deciding points in Ohio's fourth consecutive win in the series came off the foot of Tyler Grassman, who kicked a 39-yard field goal.

Pennsylvania had a chance to answer, but the host team's first play in overtime was a pass play that flicked off the hands of Hopewell's Rushel Shell and was intercepted by Ohio's Nana Kyeremeh to end it."
