A disgruntled fan vocalized his displeasure over the missed scoring opportunities, which prompted a heated exchange. Franklin confronted the fan, asking, "If you're gonna be man enough to talk, what's your name?" before the fan eventually walked away.

The pivotal moment of the game came with less than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Penn State had a chance to tie the score with four plays inside the Ohio State five-yard line but ultimately failed to convert on fourth down.
