Penn State has spent most of the past season and a half trying to get back to its identity.
There’s been glimpses during that time, but for the most part, the Nittany Lions haven’t been able to sustain the dynamic offense they’d become so accustomed to, and the results have reflected that.
Saturday showed another one of those glimpses. It also showed another one of those disappointing results.
The Nittany Lions (10-7-0, 2-6-0 Big Ten) fell a goal short in a furious comeback bid against Michigan State, losing 4-3 to the Spartans (9-6-1, 4-4-0).
