Guy Gadowsky was proud of Penn State’s mental toughness when the Nittany Lions faced North Dakota in Nashville.
Against Ohio State last weekend, not so much.
After opening the scoring both nights, the Buckeyes rallied in the final 20 or so minutes to win both contests.
The Nittany Lions have never been the most adept with preserving leads in what starts out as a low-scoring game.
In theory, their preferred playing style suits such a situation.
Gadowsky doesn’t like when the team tries to get cute, which can lead to better chances for the opposition.
