Ohio State will be without one of its linebackers for the first half of the Penn State game.
In a questionable turn of events, Arvell Reese was penalized for targeting with just over four minutes remaining during the win over Nebraska.

After a long review, the referees determined that it was a catch and confirmed the targeting penalty, therefore eliminating the ensuing fumble and recovery by the Buckeyes. Instead, Reese will be forced to miss the first half of next week's top-five showdown against Penn State in Happy Valley due to the targeting penalty taking place in the second half of Saturday afternoon's game.
Ryan Day wasn't happy about the call.

The lengthy review combined with some fans in Ohio Stadium throwing water bottles on the field following said review delayed the game for quite some time.
So much happened. Nebraska pass rules a completion, a targeting call was confirmed, fans began throwing trash on the field and Ryan Day erupted. #Huskers #OhioStateFootball pic.twitter.com/1fWQBAJZnF
