CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- There's a whole lot to like about this Penn State football team, but there's also some things that are simply going to have to improve in order to live up to the lofty expectations this season.
For instance, below is what the offense could and really should look like -- prized young quarterback throwing a gorgeous pass and receiver making a terrific catch -- but there just hasn't been enough of this kind of stuff just yet.
Instead, the No. 7 Nittany Lions have utilized a ball-control offense that's generally lacked big plays, and that was largely the case again in Saturday's comfortable 30-13 win over Illinois in the Big Ten opener.
