Marvin Harrison Jr. Stole Iconic Penn State Celebration After Dagger Touchdown

No. 3 Ohio State took down No. 7 Penn State on Saturday, 20-12, in a slog of a game between Big Ten powerhouses.

Both defenses looked dominant, and both offenses struggled, but the Buckeyes had one key ingredient that the Nittany Lions lacked: star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

With Ohio State holding a 13-6 lead in the fourth quarter and looking to put the game away, Harrison came up big, breaking open on a crossing route, reeling in a pass from quarterback Kyle McCord and sprinting to the goal line.

After Harrison scored, he wildly waved his hands around in circles at his sides in celebration as his teammates followed him into the end zone.

Harrison’s dance had a special bit of sting to it, because he was borrowing the move from Penn State legend Saquon Barkley, who made a few big plays against Ohio State during his college years.

A few eagle-eyed fans following the action from home took note of Harrison’s cheeky move.

With the win, the Buckeyes move to 7-0 on the season and 4-0 in Big Ten play. The Nittany Lions dropped to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in conference.
