The Penn State Nittany Lions have officially completed the “easy” portion of their schedule.
Through five games, PSU is undefeated, having vanquished their foes with a combined score of 235-37. That’s a margin of 198 points. That’s an average game score of 47-7.4.
But that was the easy portion of the schedule. The Lions faced off against FCS Idaho, G5 Buffalo, Pitt, Maryland, and Purdue. Four of the five games played have been in the confines of Beaver Stadium.
Those five teams, at this point in the season, are a combined 11-16. None of the five teams are currently ranked, though Maryland did break into the top 25 for a week before losing to Temple, and Pitt is currently in the “others receiving votes” category, putting them #37 in the country.
