A 27-26, heartbreaking loss to Ohio State Saturday hurt Penn State football’s chances, but the team is far from eliminated. At 4-1 overall with a high-powered offense led by Heisman Trophy candidate Trace McSorley and a defense that’s shown flashes of brilliance, this team can still accomplish its goal. With that said, improvements must be made. Both sides of the ball didn’t play consistent enough to come away with the win.
Defense wins championships
If there’s one thing that needs the most attention during the bye it’s PSU’s defense. The Nittany Lions gave up a 26-14 advantage in the fourth quarter because of a 13-0 Ohio State scoring run.
