Nov. 7, 2009 (United Press International) -- No. 12 Ohio State won its third straight game Saturday, riding Terrelle Pryor's two passing TDs and a rushing score to a 24-7 win over Penn State.

The win put Ohio State at 5-1 in the Big Ten. It tied the Buckeyes with Iowa atop the conference standings, raised their overall record to 8-2 and set up a battle with the Hawkeyes next week in Columbus for what could be a Big Ten championship.

The Nittany Lions fell to 8-2 overall and 4-2 in the conference.

Pryor passed for 125 yards with no interceptions while picking up 50 yards on the ground. His 62-yard pass to DeVier Posey along the left sideline went for a score to make it 17-7 with 1:47 left in the third quarter.

Ohio State's ground attack proved too much for Penn State.

Daryll Clark led the Nittany Lions, completing 12-of-18 for 125 yards with one interception.
