The Nittany Lions climb to 7-0 despite QB Drew Allar watching the entire second half from under a towel on the sideline. Dani Dennis-Sutton was also hurt in this game – he tried to go for Penn Stat in the second half but vinyl lasted one snap. Starting RT Anthony Donkoh was also unable to finish this game.
Despite of how uphill the battle seemed to get, Penn State came through in a way #3-ranked teams must.
I love a good pitchers’ duel and I’ll fight anyone who says that style of sport is boring, but I have to admit: shootouts are fun. I’m rewatching as I write – partially because of my journalistic integrity, but I’d be lying if I said I weren’t mixing business with pleasure.
Penn State won the tune-up game in their slate of newly-minted west coast B1G teams, 27-11 over UCLA. Traveling to USC next week will be a significantly tougher test. Depending how that goes I’ll tell you how confident I’ll be when the Washington Huskies come to town next month. But at the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, let’s talk Biggest Winners.
