Saturday’s thrilling 45-38 overtime win over Appalachian State left Penn State fans with more questions than answers.
The Nittany Lions, who replaced a number of key cogs in both the starting lineup and the coaching staff in the offseason, sputtered both offensively and defensively against a very game Mountaineers squad.
Heisman candidate Trace McSorley looks hesitant early on, but eventually found his footing to lead his team to victory. Miles Sanders, trying to replace Saquon Barkley. ran for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns on 19 carries in an admirable showing. And the Nittany Lions offense, though slow to get started, put up 38 points in regulation.
