Reversal
Penn State has now won two Big Ten conference games, and needs one more win to make a bowl game. The Lions, according to Matt Campbell, looked in the mirror during the bye week, and made adjustments to how they would approach the second half of the season.
Against Washington, we might have seen that reflection. Recall a brisk afternoon on September 26. Penn State builds up an early lead on Wisconsin, 17-0. From there, the Lions start to go into “milk the clock” mode even though there was an entire half of football left to play. Little by little, the Badgers started making plays to inch closer, and, as the game came to its closing minutes, take the lead. We all know what happened from there.
