Like last week, there are a lot of things that can be said. But the bottom line is that Penn State wasn’t good enough tonight. The defense didn’t make enough stops; giving up 41 points. Meanwhile the offense, despite the 25 points, had trouble throughout the night. Penn State only had eight carries with a running back — all eight going to Devyn Ford — for a total of 36 yards.
The lack of atmosphere clearly affected Penn State. There were multiple occasions where if a full 110,000 Whiteout crowd was there, the game would have gone differently.
