How you view Penn State’s season so far is rooted in just how far you want to dig.
On the surface, the Nittany Lions are sitting pretty. They’re 4-0. They’re ranked in the top 10. After a 63-24 win at Illinois on Friday night, they’ve outscored their first four opponents 222-78. And they lead the country with 55.5 points per game, while putting up 515 yards per contest, second in the Big Ten.
But there are cracks in Penn State’s foundation. There are always flaws; if you look at Alabama hard enough, you can find one, maybe.
