The Penn State Nittany Lions have won back to back conference games in Micah Shrewsberry’s first year with the program. With two Big Ten wins already, Shrewsberry has already matched many preseason win projections for how his team would finish in Big Ten play.
It looked dire midway into the second half, as Northwestern opened up a 10-point lead and looked like it was ready to blow the game wide open. Instead, Penn State found a way to chip at the lead, and before you knew it, it was the Nittany Lions who were nursing their own five-point lead to seal the victory.
