Stephfon Green scored two touchdown to lead No. 21 Penn State to a 20-14 triumph over Ohio State in a Big Ten matchup Saturday.

Green finished with 94 yards for the Nittany Lions, who kept their Big Ten title hopes alive with the win.

Penn State (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) leads Wisconsin (9-2, 5-2) by one game in the Leaders Division. The Nittany Lions close out their regular season against the Badgers next week, with the winner advancing to the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game.

Michigan State (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten) clinched the Legends Division on Saturday with a win over Indiana coupled with Michgan's rout of Nebraska.

Anthony Frea kicked career long field goals of 43 and then 46 yards for Penn State to make interim coach Tom Bradley the first coach besides Joe Paterno to earn a win with Penn State since 1965.

Green ripped off a 39-yard scoring run in the first quarter and added one from 4-yards out in the second.

Ohio State (6-5, 3-4) was on the move late but came up short on its last real chance. The Buckeyes went for the first down on 4th-and-10 from the Nittany Lions’ 41-yard line.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller dropped back to pass before taking off on a run the Penn State defense stopped a yard short of the first down.
