It is never fun to lose. For the past couple of seasons Penn State has been able to keep every game close, even the handful that did not go in the win column. The last time a game got out of hand such as it did on Saturday in Ann Arbor was twenty-five months earlier on the same field.
The team and fans will recover from the disappointment in time to face the next opponent: Wisconsin. There is still plenty to play for and young players will gain valuable experience in the coming month. While the loss is a bitter pill to swallow, there are better days just over the horizon.
