Penn State’s stunning loss to Alaska Fairbanks may raise some concern with fans, but a loss in the team’s fourth game of the season is no reason to overreact.

Following a 7-0 beatdown of the Nanooks, the Nittany Lions found themselves on the other side of a shutout, losing 4-0 thanks to an improved effort from Alaska in the final game of the series.

The Nanooks deserve more credit than they’ve been getting.
