On Saturday afternoon, the Penn State Nittany Lions squared off against the Appalachian State Mountaineers in a contest of American football at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania. After a terrifying fourth quarter gave way to free football in a single overtime, Penn State emerged victorious, 45-38. I have some thoughts, which are set forth randomly below:
- Listen, this column was supposed to be easy this week. Then App State came to town.
- Credit where credit is due - App State has earned its rep as a giant killer, and there’s no better kind of giant to kill than one with a top 10 ranking in front of of 100,000 plus people.
