While Penn State came away with a loss, the Nittany Lions gave the Purdue Boilermakers everything they could have asked for. Unfortunately, Purdue made more plays in the end, and the Boilermakers came away with the win.
This is still a good sign for the Nittany Lions, who have now played three phenomenal games in Big Ten play, winning two fo them. The loss puts the Lions at 3-2 in conference play, good for eighth in the conference for the time being.
So far, Penn State has played three of the top five teams in the conference.
