Penn State football: Nittany Lions face early adversity in win over Buffalo

For the first time this season, the Penn State football program had the opportunity to turn on the lights at Beaver Stadium and play on prime time television.

The energy throughout Happy Valley made it hard to believe the Buffalo Bulls even had a chance — but to our surprise, they came to play… and came to play very well.

The Bulls’ gameplan was simple, but Penn State failed to find an answer throughout the first two quarters. As we expected the Lions’ defensive line to feast like they did last week, Buffalo did a solid job keeping the lanes open for their run game, and keeping their young quarterback protected.
