Penn State football nearly pulled off an upset over an undefeated No. 2 Indiana team and played its best game all season, representing who the Nittany Lions (3-6, 0-6 Big Ten) were when they started the season second in the nation. While the three-point loss was another heartbreaking scenario in a devastating Penn State season, interim head coach Terry Smith was not disappointed in the fight that his team had on Saturday.
After the game, he spoke with reporters and admitted that what the blue and white did against the Hoosiers (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) was not their pique performance.
