Over the weekend, the Penn State Nittany Lions beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers 26-25 in a game that was needlessly close.
Once again the Lions started slow, letting the Gophers build a 10-0 lead before clawing their way back to 10-10. Then a blocked punt led to a double reverse flea flicker touchdown for the Gophers, putting them back up 17-10. A quick 75-yard drive saw the Lions score the would-be tying touchdown, but another special teams gaffe - this time a blocked extra point - led to Minnesota taking the ball back the other way for 2 points, putting them up 19-16 at the half.
