27 Random Thoughts On Penn State Beating SMU & The Fiesta Bowl Matchup Against Boise State

  1. I’m not one to venture out into the cold for extended periods of time, but I can’t recall the last time I was that cold during a Penn State football game. Maybe Wisconsin 2012 or Nebraska 2013? Either way, it’s been a while.
  2. I doubled up on socks and even put toe warmers on the tops and bottoms of my feet and by the end of the first quarter, it didn’t matter.
  3. My frozen toes aside, what a game and what a moment for Penn State football. I know SMU wasn’t the marquee brand name of Alabama or Clemson or someone along those lines, but for a program like Penn State that hasn’t beaten a Top 10 opponent inside Beaver Stadium since 2016, it was a glorious celebratory atmosphere that this fanbase needed.
