Michigan 28, Penn State 16: 5 things we learned from the Senior Day game

It feels like we've been down this road before on Senior Day. Oh, wait, we have. The Lions have now lost three consecutive Senior Day games (Nebraska, Michigan State, Michigan). Anyway, let's get to my talking points ...

1. Saturday's effort in the red zone has to rank as one of PSU's worst in recent history. Injuries, shoddy O-line play, whatever. There is NO excuse for what transpired on three Lions' possessions that began with first downs inside the Michigan 10. The Lions had first-and-goal situations at the Wolverines' 9, 3 and 6. By my count, they ran nine total plays (five runs, four passes) and produced FIVE yards.
