Seems even a Penn State player thinks it was a bat:
From the Centre Daily Times:
Recovery effort
Penn State safety Mark Rubin made the play of the game, if not the season, in Columbus, knocking the ball out of the hands of Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor on a quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter. But if not for linebackers Navorro Bowman and Tyrell Sales, the Buckeyes might have been able to recover the fumble and pin the Nittany Lions in their own territory with a punt.
Bowman, who has forced two fumbles this season, dove on the ball at the Buckeyes’ 38-yard line after a mad scramble.
“I was just trying to slow it down with my eyes and hands and just fall on it,” he said.
Sales knocked Ohio State tailback Chris Wells to the turf, giving Bowman the chance to fall on the ball.
“If he hadn’t done that, there’s no telling who would have got the ball,” Bowman said. “It just comes from awareness, having guys keep the ball alive.”
