When considering the expectations for the Penn State football team from August through seven games of the season, at times the goal posts have moved. A month ago it was expected that James Franklin would guide his young team to the College Football Playoff and anything less would not suffice. Following two losses, hopes turned to having a strong finish and possibly making a third consecutive New Year’s Six bowl appearance.
Then on a day when the goal posts were actually moving, due to the force of an unrelenting wind, the Lions barely escaped with a win in hand.
