Jim Ferry got his first Big Ten conference win in six tries and while it may not have been the plan to lose the first five games it may be a winning formula. The Penn State football team lost its first five games before finishing with a 4-game win streak. The hockey team lost the first five and then evened their record with a 7-2 streak.
Are the Lions better than Nebraska and Northwestern? If they are then the team will have a record of 4-5 in the Big Ten conference following three games against the pair, one which comes this Saturday at home against the Wildcats.
