Penn State’s season has been mired by fragility.
Not so much in the physical aspect, but more on the mental side of the game.
Just as coach Guy Gadowsky thought the Nittany Lions had turned a corner and were trending in the right direction, old habits crept back into their game.
Despite a strong performance against the No. 5 team in the nation, the Nittany Lions shot themselves in the foot/endured self-inflicted wounds/(insert your own cliche here) in their 3-1 loss to Minnesota.
Most notable among those self-inflicted wounds were blatant, unnecessary turnovers, and most glaring among those was one which led directly to the Golden Gophers (20-11-0, 15-6-0 Big Ten) eventual game-winning goal.
