In case you missed it, Penn State made a STATEMENT on Saturday, venturing into the Alabamian heat and emerging from one of the most voodoo-y stadiums this side of Kinnick with an emphatic 41-12 win.
It wasn’t that the Lions controlled all three phases of the game. It wasn’t that the gameplan came together almost stunningly well. It wasn’t that Sean Clifford once again played virtually mistake-free football on the road in a hostile environment.
It was that Penn State could run the ball.
For whatever reason Penn State has struggled to rush the ball since 2019.
