It wasn’t the ending the numerous Penn State fans creating a sea of white (the team declared a “White Out”) in Philly’s Lincoln Financial Field hoped for. The No. 1 ranked Penn State squad with their top scoring offense in the country had a chance to exact revenge on a Yale team which handed them their only loss of the season, but instead, dug themselves that was ultimately too deep for them to climb out of, despite their valiant efforts.
The first quarter was an epic disaster movie for the Nittany Lions, as Yale led by their faceoff ace TD Ierlan, won faceoff after faceoff, and Yale converted the vast majority of the scoring opportunities into actual goals, thanks to some unusually poor defense from the Lions.
