Penn State Football put a bow on the 2020 season by defeating Illinois 56-21, ending the year with four straight victories and building momentum into 2021.
Following Saturday night’s 56-21 victory over the Fighting Illini, Penn State Football decided to forego a bowl game, finishing the season on a four game winning streak.
After starting 0-5, in the midst of a quarterback controversy, it appeared the sky was falling on James Franklin’s program. However, much to the credit of this staff and players, the Nittany Lions found a second wind and rattled off four straight, all be it against opponents with a combined record of 9-21.
