The game on Friday night ended the way that everyone expected, with Penn State holding a comfortable 39-point advantage at the final whistle. How we got there, well, that freaked some Penn State fans out. Illinois held a brief 24-21 lead early in the second half before the Lions scored 42 unanswered points. There were murmurs from fans along the way, concerned that the Lions would not be able to find a groove, that is, until they did find that patented Penn State second-half surge.
