FUMBLE!

Mark Rubin forced the fumble. Navorro Bowman recovered it for Penn State.

But it was fifth-year senior linebacker, Tyrell Sales that may have made the most heads-up play on Saturday night.

As the ball bounced behind the line of scrimmage, Sales pulled Buckeye Chris "Beanie" Wells away from it, then swatted it away from Terrelle Pryor who had the next best shot at jumping on it.

Here's what Bowman had to say on Tuesday about Sales' poke:

"Yeah, that was a heck of a play by Tyrell." Bowman said on a conference call. "I didn't see it in the game. I saw it after the game. And if he hadn't done that, there's no telling who would have got the ball."

"That just all comes from guys just being on the field and having that awareness just to keep the ball alive and give you a chance to fall on it."
