What a win! Words can’t even describe how much the 24-21 victory over second ranked Ohio State means to this program. This is a victory that will live in Nittany Lion lore for a long, long time.
Three weeks ago, this team and program were at a crossroads, coming off a 49-10 shellacking to Michigan. At 2-2, the season could have spiraled out of control. There was a ton of talk about James Franklin’s future.
At halftime of the Minnesota game, with the Nittany Lions down 13-3, the students were chanting “Fire Franklin”. Penn State surged back in the second half to send it to overtime and Saquon Barkley’s 25-yard dash to the end zone in the extra frame sealed it.
