Broken foot or not, Trace McSorley wasn’t going to be denied finishing out his final game as a Nittany Lion. But the fifth-year senior’s heroics weren’t enough.
McSorley and Penn State’s comeback bid fell short, losing to Kentucky 27-24 in Tuesday afternoon’s Citrus Bowl at Camping World Stadium.
The No. 12 Nittany Lions could not secure their 10th win of the season. It would have been the team’s third straight double-digit win season — a program first in the Big Ten era.
Stat that mattered
0 for 9: That’s how poorly the Nittany Lions’ offense performed on the third down through three quarters.
