Eleven months ago, the Nittany Lions lost by one point to Ohio State and, a week later, let it ruin their College Football Playoff chances. And it happened again.
For the second year in a row, Penn State lost to Michigan State. The Nittany Lions fell 21-17 on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium, an ugly loss that all but ends Penn State’s national title aspirations.
Trace McSorley made history, becoming Penn State’s all-time leader in passing yards. He finished with 192 yards while completing 19 of his 32 passes. Miles Sanders ran 17 times for 162 yards and a touchdown, while KJ Hamler led the Nittany Lions with 66 receiving yards and a touchdown on 5 catches.
