Going into this past weekend’s game against Central Michigan, the word of the day week was “letdown.”
As in, “after that huge, emotional blowout win on the road in a hostile environment against an SEC opponent, it’s highly likely that Penn State will suffer a letdown against a 1-2 MAC team being hosted for a noon kick.”
Yes, that’s a very specific sentence, but hear me out.
The entire week after the Lions’ huge win over Auburn, and subsequent jump up the rankings, we all mused about the possibility (read: probability) that Penn State would not play quite as well against Central Michigan.
