Penn State 74, Wagner 54: Lions Pull Away Late

In what will likely become the theme of this season, Penn State found a way to turn what should have otherwise been an easy, drama-free contest into the sort of stressful situation only a team like Penn State can. The Nittany Lions needed every second of the first half to build any semblance of a lead against the Wagner Seahawks, who got the memo from the previous eight opponents to date. The formula is simple: press early and often, and the Lions will have trouble handling the intensity and turn the ball over at an alarming rate.
