I wrote a much more scathing recap earlier on Saturday, that I then had to scrap after what I’m labeling Bloody Saturday™ took place. As with every week, there are parts of the Nittany Lion attack that cannot be ignored, and improvement needs to happen before the Lions take on their toughest competition in the next couple of weeks.
That said, the landscape of college football has completely shifted after a week where seven top 25 teams lost, four of which were in the top 10. Alabama certainly looked the part, but Vanderbilt looked even better. Tennessee, known for Josh Heupel’s offensive genius, could not muster the offense to put away Arkansas.
