Social Media Reactions to Penn State vs. Illinois and More from Week Five

A win over a ranked opponent is a win over a ranked opponent.

Although it wasn’t as dominant as some had hoped, Penn State ground Illinois’ hot start to a halt and left its first top-25 matchup with a 4-0 record.

It felt like the Nittany Lions were in control during most of the game, but it was hard to ignore some glaring concerns. Folks on Twitter/X were up in arms about poor kicking, an abundance of penalties, and questionable coaching decisions.

Not sure why Penn State got away from the run there.

Missed field goal, and we’re still tied at 7.
