Penn State hung with the defending champs for three quarters, but came up short in Columbus
Leading up to Saturday night's game in Columbus, I expected the type of game where the score made it feel much closer than it really was. What we got, at least to me, was a blowout that felt much closer. Sure, the final score of 38-10 will impress the pollsters, and probably the playoff committee, but Penn State was not 28 points worse than their hosts.
The game started off well enough for the Nittany Lions, forcing a three and out, and going right down the field for a Joey Julius 33 yard field goal.
