It feels like we’re at one of the lowest points of the P.J. Fleck era.
The 45 points the Penn State Nittany Lions scored Saturday night against the Minnesota Golden Gophers are the most that a Fleck team has allowed since Maryland put up that same number of points back in 2020. The week prior to that 45-44 overtime loss to the Terrapins, the Gophers gave up 49 points to Michigan in their season opener.
The 2020 season was definitely a low point, but there was an explanation for that low point that I could live with.
