It's no secret Penn State has struggled in Big Ten play thus far, and its success, or lack thereof, deserves a closer look.
With nine overall wins, the Nittany Lions have put up good fights against their out-of-conference opponents, including a win against No. 6-ranked opponent North Dakota on Oct. 30.
The blue and white has managed only one win in six Big Ten matchups, a result of a low shot percentage and lacking special teams.
Suffering from poor discipline
Penn State ranks 20th among NCAA schools in penalty minutes per game, as well as second in the Big Ten — a stat teams don’t want to be a leader in.
