On Saturday afternoon, Thursday evening, the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Purdue Boilermakers engaged in a contest of American football at Rutgers Scarlet Knights engaged in a contest of American football at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Penn State emerged victorious, 34-31. I have several thoughts, which are set forth randomly below:
1. Welcome back, everyone! The offseason is far, far too long, and I’m certainly glad to see college football back.
2. This offseason, though, was a little shorter than most. A Thursday start to the season isn’t a bad thing.
