Ohio State may not have beaten Penn State if not for J.T. Tuimoloau, who delivered an all-time great individual defensive performance in which he forced four turnovers.
“To intercept balls like that, as a defensive end to go get a defensive score, I don't know if I've ever seen that,” Day said after the game. “That's big time. JTT has put so much hard work into this. He's an unbelievable player, but he's a better person. And you can see his talent. This is kind of his coming-out party today. And he's been working at it. Nobody wants it more than he does.
That was why Day and Harrison were so happy to see Tuimoloau finally break through against Penn State and make a bunch of the game-changing plays he had come close to making in previous games. “You should have seen it, he had like three picks in practice, so what you expect?” Harrison said after the game. “When he got the first one, we were like, ‘I mean it happened in practice, it happens in games.’ Then he caught the second one and scored and I was like ‘Oh yeah, he’s got it, bro.’”“When the stats don't go your way, something that I've kind of experienced in my career as well, I just talked to my brother, ‘Just keep playing, bro,’” Harrison said.
Tuimoloau’s favorite play, though, wasn’t his own interception but the one Harrison intercepted. He also made sure to shout out another one of his defensive linemates who had a big game: Tyleik Williams, who had a season-high five tackles including a sack and a key fourth-down stop on Penn State’s opening drive of the second half.
