COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After an excruciating, exhilarating overtime win at Wisconsin, Ohio State began preparing on Monday to play in another loud, hostile environment.Penn States Beaver Stadium, with a capacity of more than 106,000, is known as one of the toughest places to play in the country. Add that its a Saturday night and the annual white-out game -- when fans dress in all white -- and it will be all the more raucous.With about 20,000 more people there, the decibel level may exceed that of Camp Randall Stadium, where the Buckeyes defense silenced the crowd with a game-ending sack of Badgers quarterback Alex Hornibrook in overtime Saturday night to win 30-23.The last time Ohio State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) played at Beaver Stadium was another nail-biter. Quarterback J.T. Barrett scored two touchdowns in overtime, and the Buckeyes escaped with a 31-24 double-overtime win in 2014. They went on to win the national championship.Penn State (4-2, 2-1) is off to a 4-0 start at home and has won 10 of its last 11 there dating back to last season.(I) wish they saved the white-outs for other games, but I guess they used it for our game, coach Urban Meyer said Monday. Its one of the top five atmospheres, again, in college football.Linebacker Chris Worley, who experienced the atmosphere at Penn State two years ago, is trying to help prepare the younger players for the hostile stadiums.Camp Randall was a crazy place, and Penn State is a crazy place as well, Worley said. For me, Im pretty prepared and I know what to expect. Theres some guys who think they know what to expect, and its not going to be what they think.Barrett carried the load again against Wisconsin, his demeanor so steady at all times that one couldnt tell by looking at him whether his team was winning or losing. He put the Buckeyes ahead in OT with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Noah Brown. He ran for two more, becoming Ohio States all-time leader in touchdowns (rushing and passing). He rushed for 92 yards in the 30-23 win and was named Big Ten co-offensive player of the week.Im just trying to win games around here, honestly, he said. Records are good and all, and maybe Ill appreciate them more when Im 40 or 50, but right now I dont think records really matter if we dont win.For the second time in a row, Ohio States passing game was slightly off-kilter, with Barrett hitting his biggest passes on improvised plays after he was chased out of the pocket and scrambling. But nobody seems to be panicking.Were OK, Meyer said. Were going to get keep getting better at it. Hes a very good passer. When youre the No. 1 quarterback in the history of Ohio State University, youre doing OK.Barrett said its just a matter of working more on timing with receivers.WHAT PENALTY?: Meyer griped about the penalty called on him for sideline interference in the second quarter against Wisconsin. A referee struck him in the head while wind-milling to keep the clock running. Meyer said the ref barely grazed his headset and that it shouldnt have been an infraction.That broke my heart, Meyer said. To put your players in a 15-yard penalty for that in a big game. Some will say, `Well, thats just the rule. Get rid of the (darn) rule. Thats not a good rule.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacyWholesale Custom Jerseys .

Heres our ratings...Houston Texans, (9-7) Highlights from the AFC wildcard playoff game between the Chiefs and the Texans. A real Jekyll and Hyde campaign for the Texans, with a 3-5 record before their bye week and then a 6-2 record following it. After the break they allowed a league-best 13.5 points per game, with only defeats at the Bills and Patriots to their name, hardly embarrassing. That word could certainly be used to describe a couple of early season defeats though; a 48-21 reverse to the Falcons - they were trailing 42-0 at one stage - allowing four rushing touchdowns, three of them to Devonta Freeman; and a 44-26 defeat to the Dolphins - down 41-0 at the half - with Ryan Tannehill throwing four touchdowns and Lamar Miller rushing for 175 yards and one score.Despite their stirring second-half of the season, the quarterback position continued to be a problem for the Texans, as they worked their way through the much-of-a-muchness journeyman smattering of Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, TJ Yates and Brandon Weeden. Surprisingly they were enough to see them still win a weak division and earn a playoff berth, where their offensive struggles would see them shut-out by the Chiefs, suffering a 30-0 loss on Wildcard Weekend. JJ Watt continues to be one of the NFLs best players Star player: The supreme JJ Watt, who else? Houstons one-man wrecking ball picked up 17.5 sacks for the season, taking his tally over the past four years to a staggering 69, in which time he has won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award three times, including this year, seeing him retain the title.Grade: B. A disappointment overall but given the lack of talent on offence, particularly at the quarterback position, managing to make the playoffs sees them earn a solid B.Indianapolis Colts, 8-8 Colts WR Andre Johnson reaches out with one hand while falling for a touchdown Injury to Andrew Luck derailed Indianapolis season although when Luck went down he was actually in the middle of his worst season as a Colt, having thrown 12 picks in his seven starts - consider he threw 18 across 16 starts in his rookie year. Having said that, Luck was coming off arguably his best performance of the season when he went down for the year, throwing for 252 yards and two touchdowns to lead his team to a 27-24 win over eventual Super Bowl champs, Denver in week nine.Veteran 40-year-old quarterback Matt Hasselbeck performed admirably in relief of Luck, leading the Colts to a 5-3 record in games he started, with a solid 60.9 completion percentage and nine touchdowns to five interceptions. It helped keep them in contention for a playoff spot before that charge was ultimately extinguished with a three-game skid culminating in a 16-10 loss to division-rivals Houston in week 15. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was in London this past summer and got a crash course on manners Star player: Star performers were few and far between, disappointing given the expensive off-season additions of veterans Frank Gore and Andre Johnson, the latter a particular disappointment.dddddddddddd Instead it was unheralded oldie, Hasselbeck, who was arguably their best performer, keeping the side afloat after Lucks injury.Grade: D. Given their off-season activity, and AFC Championship berth the previous year, expectations were high, and an 8-8 record is someway short of those lofty ambitions, and sees them get a D.Jacksonville Jaguars, 5-11 The Jag
