Things won’t get easier going forward for Penn State.
With No. 4 Ohio State coming to town next weekend followed by a trip to Yost Arena and Madison Square Garden to take on Michigan, stringing wins together will be difficult.
That is why the Nittany Lions needed two wins this past weekend over Michigan State.
Penn State had an opportunity to win two games against the Spartans, who were 6-11-3 going into the series.
They could have rose in the Pairwise rankings, but instead the Nittany Lions dropped to 16, which puts them firmly on the bubble.
