Warrior, competitor, fighter and Penn State football’s greatest quarterback Trace McSorley put up an unreal comeback effort only to suffer a heartbreaking, 27-24, Citrus Bowl loss to the Kentucky Wildcats Tuesday afternoon.
In almost scripted fashion, McSorley left the game with a possible broken foot, according to multiple media outlets, including Philly.com. Faced with severe pain and even damage to his draft stock, he pushed through and rallied the team back from a 27-7 deficit with another vintage McSorley moment.
The moment was legendary and the team’s play, inspired. With no offensive pulse in the second half and a defense that was gassed against Kentucky’s all-time leading rusher Benny Snell, the team did a complete 180-degree turn.
