MMQB - Who Knew the Final Third of the Schedule Would be This Tough?

The Nittany Lions are officially two-thirds of the way through the 2019 season, and are 8-0, ranked #5 in the country.

Heading into the season, everyone had a three game stretch circled as the undoubted tough portion of the schedule: at Iowa, home vs Michigan, at Michigan State.

Most people, myself included, estimated that that three game stretch would be what defined the Lions’ season. I expected the team to go 2-1, and then drop another game at Ohio State, putting them at 10-2 on the year. A solid campaign, one to build on for 2020 and beyond.
