Penn State Football: Players of the game against Kentucky

Tuesday marked a chance for Penn State football to pick up its third-straight 10-win season. Unfortunately, the Nittany Lions were unable to overcome some big, early mistakes and ultimately fell by three points to the Kentucky Wildcats.

Big miscues on special teams and questionable coaching decisions played a role in the Nittany Lions finding themselves down by 20 points heading into the fourth quarter. While 17 unanswered points in the final frame pulled Penn State closer, it wasn’t enough in the end.

The result was disappointing and put an end to a 2018 season that saw the Nittany Lions fall short of some lofty preseason expectations.
