The past couple weeks have demonstrated both ends of the spectrum of Penn State’s mental toughness.
Coach Guy Gadowsky hoped his team would replicate its performance against North Dakota, rather than the let downs against Ohio State.
What he got Thursday night was best summed up in one word — fragile.
“I thought we played really well the first half of the game, but the fragileness comes from what we gave up after. It’s a 60-minute game,” Gadowsky said. “I don’t think it’s good enough.”
From an outside perspective, the game didn’t seem as lopsided as Michigan’s 5-1 win might suggest.
